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”. Featuring 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” (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, Stanford and Wood Church Music, 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, Six Anthems (The Choir of King’s College Cambridge), and Anthem for Easter Day, these publications are available from Colin Smythe.
