The first performance of Sweeney Agonistes was on 6 May 1933 at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York under the direction of Haillie Flanagan.
A six-cassette package called "The Poet's Voice" was released by Harvard University in 1978 that included Eliot's rendition of "A Fragment of an Agon" recorded at Harvard's Woodberry Poetry Room in 1948.
