Score and parts available at the Fleisher Collection at the Free Library of Philadelphia.
There are at least two recordings available (on Chandos and on Lyrita) as of 2017 (the Lyrita CD contains a reissue of the 1975 Lyrita LP premiere of the first concerto; both concertos recorded in 1974.) The Lyrita recording is either of a more extended (uncut?) score or is slower in some places, as it seems to be 10 minutes longer. (The first movement is 5 minutes longer in Ogdon's recording, the 2nd movement 3 minutes longer, the finale almost two minutes longer.)
RAM copy of score gives 1915 for date of composition.
