For example:
- Karmanov's own 'Cambridge Music' and 'Twice a Double Concerto';
- Christmas Song, Sarabanda and Blossoming Jasmine, by the Latvian composer Georgs Pelēcis;
- Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov's Kitsch-Musik for piano, and an un-named choral work (or works) also by Silvestrov;
- Anton Batagov's Pustota, part 3 (Batagov, along with Karmanov, Vladimir Martynov & Sergei Zagny have been featured in a documentary entitled After Bach);
- Vladimir Martynov's 'deti vydry' (other works by Martynov elsewhere on YouTube include excerpts from Children of the Otter featuring the Tuvan ensemble Huun Huur Tu).
Many of tonalist's videos showcase performances at the ДОМ Cultural Centre in Moscow, a few more of which follow:
- Philip Glass's String Quartet no.5, performed by the ODEONQUARTET;
- The same quartet performing Tenebrae, by Osvaldo Golijov;
