ooh-aah Percy Grainger: existing recordings? (27) Percy Grainger: existing recordings? 22 May 03


I've recently been reading a very good biography of the Australian composer Percy Grainger, with fascinating details of his folk-song collecting activities in Lincolnshire and other places. Apparently he was the first to record songs sung by traditional singers, on wax cylinders. My question is: have these recordings (including Brigg Fair and many other classics) ever been remastered and released in some accessible form? Would Cecil Sharp house in London have them?
