The stereo Messiah, on RCA, is readily available on CD. I also have the
1947 recording on Allegro CDO 1003, made in the USA. The 1927 recording
was on the Grammofono 2000 label - now hard to find at a reasonable price.

Dutton CDAX 8018 is a fairly complete collection of all the suites of
arrangements from 78s. This CD is titled "The Great Elopement".

The stereo recordings of "Love in Bath" are on EMI CDM 7 633742.

On the Somm label, SOMM-BEECHAM 7 includes the suites plus the unissued
78s of the "Piano Concerto". Somm have the advantage of access to
Beecham's own record collection.
