This harp quintet is one of Golubev's few works that are still occasionally performed. The Soviet state record label Melodiya released several LPs of his music, including the three piano concertos, two of the symphonies, and some chamber works and songs which are no longer easily available. During the last years, some of these old recordings were released on CD. Melodiya has in 2005 reissued Nikolayeva's recordings of the 3rd piano concerto and 4th piano sonata (1942–1943).
