He made a number of recordings for Columbia in the late 1920s and early 1930s, including those listed below. Bratza’s wife Margaret Russell, was a member of the famed legal family that produced three generations of Law Lords, and his son Nicolas Dusan Bratza is a judge of the European Court of Human Rights.
