REVIEWS OF PETTERSSON RECORDINGS
The principal source of these citations (and their grade symbols) is the index
published in NOTES, quarterly journal of the Music Library
Association (I have been co-compiler of the index since 1991). Additional
citations have been added from other sources. I have tried to add grade symbols
to these where possible. Due to the frequency of reissue and alternative
pairings, the citations are grouped first by the performers, then by label and
number.
