List of German-language poets' voices available on sound carriers
This is a list of German-language author's voices documented on sound carriers, preferably when presenting one's own works. Access to this list is given to every author whose voice has been published in German on a sound carrier at any time. Radio recordings, provided they did not result in further publication, cannot be considered.
Authors in chronological order by year of death
