NOTE: This list was compiled mainly as a checklist of my own Korngold collection, and is not exhaustive. Some of these recordings may be out of print, but may be available to you through the interlibrary loan program at your local library. An "X" in the right-hand column indicates that this recording is in the collection of The Thompsonian Institution.

Dr. William F. Flanigan, Jr. is a leading authority on Korngold soundtrack recordings.  You can read some of his reviews here.

To receive a copy of Dr. Flanigan's very detailed discography of Korngold's film scores: e-mail Dr. William Flanigan

The bs magazine website also has a very nice Korngold discography section.
