OxRecs Digital is a UK record company created by Bernard Martin in the 1985. Specialising in location recording of choirs (many from Oxford colleges) and pipe organs, in 1991 OxRecs released a two-volume CD set entitled “The Organs of Oxford”[1][2]. It featured instruments from the city and university of Oxford and played by college or recital organists (including Stephen Darlington, David Trendell) who kindly donated their time to the project. Approximately £8000 was raised from sales and donated to the Campaign for Oxford, setup to fundraise for the university of Oxford. This project was followed by releasing a 4-volume CD set of “The Organs of Cambridge”[3] (including Stephen Cleobury, Charles Harrison, Richard Marlow), and a two-volume CD set of “The Organs of Eton College” (including Robert Quinney, Clive Driskill-Smith).
Significant releases have included archive recordings from the Choir of Magdalen College Oxford directed by Bernard Rose. These include English Polyphonic Church Music[4], Stanford and Wood Church Music[5], Archive Recordings from Magdalen College Choir, Oxford (1906-60), and More Archive Recordings (1960-76). In addition, the replica Wetheringsett & Wingfield Tudor organs by Goetze and Gwynn organ builders have featured on recordings by Gonville & Caius Choir Cambridge, and Durham Cathedral Choir & Consort of Voices.
Much collaborative recording work was done with the poet Francis Warner, and the organist David Goode. CDs issued with the scores include Blitz Requiem[6], Six Anthems (The Choir of King’s College Cambridge), and Anthem for Easter Day[7], these publications are available from Colin Smythe.
