Discography: Unreleased Materials

Some recordings exist as a full concert, however I will only list the work performed by Annie Fischer. It is by no mean to cover all existing unreleased materials, but I could only include all that I am aware of.  Please feel free to contact me if you know any errors and additional information will also be appreciated.

Specially thanks to Clive Allen, Koji Attwood, Michael Gray, Farhan Malik, Donald Manildi (International Piano Archives at Maryland), Jonathan Summers (British Library National Sound Archive), Michael Waiblinger (Melo Classic - Historical Recording Label). The Discography could not be done better without their help.
