Recordings of composers playing their own works?

[Bob]

What composers do we have where we have recordings of them playing their own music?

I'm thinking more piano pieces here.  A conductor might have a lot of recordings now.

[mjames]

Scriabin, Rachmaninoff, Debussy, Feinberg, and Gershwin off the top of my head.

[dogperson]

Add Ravel to the list

[quantum]

Medtner

[ted]

The recordings of Elgar improvising, made in a London studio in the 1920s and lost until the 1970s.

The thread title should be emmended, "Recordings of REAL composers playing their own works"  Not music that isn't worthy to be heard in a supermarket, let alone a music hall.

Next thing you know someone will post Grainger playing his own works, which is actually others' work. . .

Really, visitor.

Are piano rolls eligible? If so, then...

The issue I have with Kap is that he mixed his genres.  Don't try to make classical jazz.  Gershwin succeeded in fusing them.  That is genius.

Stay away from supermarkets.
