These are catalogued publications carrying the name — editions and printings, distinct from the works they contain and from writing about the subject. The 1990s are the densest part of the run, with 22 titles, and that concentration is a fact about what the registers have catalogued rather than a judgement on the work itself. They belong to a run of 63 titles in all, from 1987 to 2025.

Recordings and discography
Primary material
Recordings and discography
The discography assembled here shows how Peters's work has been published in sound, not what Peters made. 50 sound issues are catalogued, carrying dates from 1993 to 2019. An issue is a published recording, distinct from the composition it carries, from a printed score of that composition and from any single performance of it; none of the entries below is counted in the catalogue of compositions above, and several of them carry the same work in different readings. The 2000s are the densest decade of publication, with 27 issues. The performers and issuing labels are as the discographic register states them; where it names no performer the article names none.
