A recording of the song cycle version of For a Look or a Touch exists on the 2014 Naxos recording Out of Darkness.

 

Heggie’s song cycle with actors, For a Look or a Touch, is a masterpiece. The music is tonal and evocative...This is an impressive piece of work. It tells the tale musically and vocally without waver or waffle, and deserves many hearings.
