Last update: 12/01/2021
Biography:
Alfred Deller was the subject of two biographies when this discography
was originally compiled:
For a short survey of Deller's career, see also (in english): "The Gramophone" (August 1998, p. 20-21) or (in french) "Diapason" (April 2004, p.48-58).
And then, a more recent book (which also consulted this web page!):
This is an "always under construction", but I believe, a very comprehensive discography of Alfred Deller as a counter-tenor but also as the director of the Deller Consort and from time to time of other ensembles. This discography is divided into three parts.
Part I lists the original recordings (around 136 up to now) and re-edited material containing tracks not previously released. Each individual titles is (or will be) linked to a descriptive section containing as much information as possible about the original recording; this description is cross-linked to LPs and CDs known to have been available on the market at the date of this update.
Deller's original recording have been re-edited under many "national" labels. For the sake of completeness, I tried in the linked web pages to list all recordings, both LPs or CDs known to me which is a rather very difficult task. Many Vanguard LPs appeared as Amadeo in Europe, some Harmonia mundi (France) were released (with few vice-versa) in Germany as Harmonia mundi (german pressing) with it's own numbering system (subsequently BASF, EMI, BMG), in USA as RCA "Victrola", in England as Oryx, and more ....
Great care have been taken to prevent misinformations and a large part of the data originates from records themselves (although often not as reliable as it should be). If the recording was not available, the content originates from usual sources (periodicals such as The Gramophone (and the Catalogue), Diapason (and the Catalogue), Bielefelder Katalog, Notes, and Fanfare, etc.). For pre-1955 editions, I also used the World Encyclopedia of Recorded Music [WERM]. An excellent non-descriptive discography could be found in "ALFRED DELLER, A Singularity of Voice" by Michael & Mollie Hardwick (Proteus, 1980) [SoV] but some minor original entries are missing and the list is a little bit unorganized. Also useful for the Harmonia mundi recordings was an HM export catalogue (ca 1972). Alas ! if all this failed, reference was made to the french book "Diapason - Guide de la musique ancienne et baroque" (Coll. Bouquins, Robert Laffond, 1993) [GMAB]; although impressive in term of quality and amount of content, readers should be careful about many recording dates listed. Also data has been re-checked using the Indiana University Library excellent database [IUCAT] and more recently the Bibliothèque Nationale de France on-line catalogue [BN-Opale plus].
I tried to list titles according to their label and recording dates. In the linked section, I tried to follow the track order of the recording; in some cases when the recording was not available, the order may need correction by a careful reader owning the disc. In Part I, my goal is to cover all original recordings, but this may well be wishful thinking without comments and corrections. These could be directed to my E-mail address (pfr@videotron.ca). Credit for any significant contribution will be given at the end of the discography.
Part II deals mostly with reedition on CDs; I tried to be complete, but the goals is really to inform readers about available recordings on the market.in different countries
Part III deals with films or transfers to video recordings
Part IV deals with other loosely associated material, or releases where insufficient information is known.
A note about searching for a recording or a title
If you search a title of record, using your search / find function
for this page may be sufficient, but if you search for a title,
say Deller having recorded "Behold thou hast made my
days" by Orlando Gibbons, it is easier to use the
search function
asking for Deller Gibbons Behold with "include other media"
activited but not "refined search".
(A number preceeding the recording denotes what could be considered the original release or a recording containing some never previously released material. This Part excludes CDs)

Notes: Vanguard released Deller's recordings in two
different ways; most titles were released under the label Vanguard
"The Bach Guils": BG 5xx-6xx (mono releases) / BGS 5yyy,
later 70 6xx (stereo releases). These were mostly recorded in
Europe, but distributed there under the Amadeo label: AVR 6xxx or
5xxx (mono releases) /AVRS 6xxx or 5xxx (stereo releases). A lesser
amount of recordings were made in USA and released only as Vanguard
VRS (= Vanguard Recording Society, 4xx, 1xxx, mono, 2yyy,stereo)
and Vanguard SRV (=Everyman Serie, an economical serie from composite
selections of regular issues). Many "Bach Guild" have
been re-issued with different numbers, the most significant serie
being the Vanguard « The Bach Guild » Historical Anthology
of Music (HM-1, etc.)
Only original releases are preceeded with a number. Also many
re-edition and composite releases have been issued; they are
preceeded with a number only if the release contains original
material. It should also be noted that many original releases were
issued by other companies (such as Philips, Nixa or Pye in UK).
Also for date of recordind / release, most information originates
from CD re-edition; most LPs have no date on the sleeve; this
information is highly confusing due to the carelesness by Vanguard
to verify and standardize its own printed information.

Notes Although there are no specific recordings strictly
labeled "Deller Recordings", it is important to understand
the purpose of this specific list.
When Alfred Deller ceased his recordings for Vanguard (ca 1965),
he founded his own company "Deller Records", and licenced
his own recordings to other companies, the most famous being Harmonia
mundi (France) with number DR 201 to 219, but 205; these LPs were
also released under other labels such as Harmonia mundi (Germany),
mostly serie 700 and in USA under RCA "Victrola" label. Starting with
Harmonia mundi HMD 220 in 1970, it appears that all subsequent
issues were produced by Harmonia mundi.
Deller himself gives in the august 1979 (p. 311) edition of
"Gramophone" the story of his beginning with Harmonia
mundi:
... Then in 1967 the Consort was giving a concert in Avignon and Bernard Coutaz, head of Harmonia Mundi, came up afterwards and said he'd really like to record us. We arranged things so as to start a small company within a company, Deller Records. I would be the artistic director, Coutaz would handle the business...

Notes This is the name of a cultural musical periodical that seems to have been published starting in the late 50's and ending in early 70's; each issue included articles, a discography, iconographic documents and a 17cm LP. Around 54 issues were released and some LPs contained material that appeared later on Harmonia mundi label.

Notes about Harmonia mundi numbering system (see also
Deller Records above):
Nearly all Alfred Deller's original recording were released by
Harmonia mundi using a 2xx digit system, starting at 201 and ending
at 252/53; numbers after 253 were compilations.
At the beginning Harmonia mundi was only the distributor of Deller
Recordings and releases used the DR prefix (from DR 201 to DR 219),
until around 1970; then the following recordings were identified
as Harmonia mundi "Deller Recordings" HMD 2xx; later they
changed the prefix for all Deller Recordings to HMU (U=universal,
both mono/stereo), starting at HMU 234 (around 1974) and again to
only HM (around 1980) on the sleeve; many releases with the HM
prefix were in the Harmonia mundi "Musique d'Abord"
economic serie, the LP being often identified with the original
prefix (i.e. HM 225 on sleeve, HMD 225 on LP).
Around 1973 (HMD
226), Harmonia mundi decided to stop issuing Deller's recording on
a sequential order and to use a decimal order (230, 240, 250),
issuing a non Alfred Deller recording as HMD 227. They changed
their mind and started again issuing Deller's recording in a
sequential order (HMD 228). The following list is not restricted
only to original releases and includes composite re-editions, but
only issues with total or partial original materials are preceded
by a number.

If no number appears, it means that it is a composite version of LPs/CDs not specifically dedicated to Deller. Also when exactly the same CD is issued in many countries with a different numbering system, only the european CD bears a number (this is more specific to vanguard re-issues).
