Discography as composer

John Williams recorded himself most of his compositions. However, some exceptions occurs and this section is therefore complementary to the main discography. In addition, it presents a special section dedicated to each of his concert works that have been recorded. As John Williams's film works are loved by the public, they were much recorded and continue to be, so another section containing selections of some his works recorded by other artists is also featured.
