Laurence Cummings has amassed a large catalog of recordings both as a harpsichordist and, increasingly often during his later career, as a conductor of the Academy of Ancient Music and other ensembles. Known as a specialist in the music of Handel, he has also recorded music by many other Baroque composers. Cummings made his recording debut in 1995 as a solo harpsichordist, issuing an album of suites by Louis Couperin. Cummings released a pair of albums in 2022, issuing a recording of Handel's opera Rodelinda, HWV 19, with the FestspielOrchester Göttingen, and backing countertenor Randall Scotting with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment on The Crown: Heroic Arias for Senesino.
