Complete Discography
We are proud to present a comprehensive discography detailing the vast recording history of The Gregg Smith Singers as a group and individual members of GSS thanks to funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and the meticulous work of Michael Sherwin. Here is Gregg the Composer!
On Delicious Numbers Albany Records (TROY1645), Gregg’s voice as a composer of solo works is being heard in commercial release for the first time! –Three major works dating from 1972, 1984, and 1998. These works were chosen from Gregg’s 50 works for solo soprano, most of them written for Rosalind Rees and can be heard now as performed by soprano Eileen Clark, pianist Thomas Schmidt, violinist Ari Streisfeld, and clarinetist Evan Ziporyn. New CD Release
When the planning for this set of recordings first began, the driving concept was to revive interest in the American choral repertoire of the middle of the 20th century as represented by recordings made by the Gregg Smith Singers. With the death of Gregg Smith on July 12, 2016, these recordings also serve as a memorial to the career of a man whose devotion to choral music in general, and especially American choral music "of every time and place," was greater than that of almost any other of his generation.
