Where can one find recordings of all the hymns in the Liber Usualis? Thanks
 
There is a former SSPX seminarian who has produced a set of Offices sung at the SSPX seminary in the USA. What you should look for in a search is for the Divine Office, sung in Gregorian Chant. Since the Liber contains the Office and Masses for the Universal Calendar of the Church, any good CD of Gregorian Chant should contain many of the Hymns. Most Libers also had additional local feasts appended to the back, behind the index.

The Liber has the Roman Rite, and there are a few CDs out there that have Mozarabic, Ambrosian, Dominican etc Rites, which while beautiful will not corrolate with all the Liber.
 
The best chant recordings are from the Benedictine monastery in Solesmes, France. CDs can be ordered from Paraclete Press, the US distributor of Solesmes’ recordings and books on chant.
 
I’m not aware of complete recordings of the chants in the Liber Usualis, or the complete Antiphonale and Graduale (from which the Liber is compiled).

But it sounds like a worthwhile project.
