Munro has a special interest in the music of Arthur Benjamin as a result of meeting Benjamin's pupil Joan Trimble in 1990, and has recorded many of his little-known piano pieces.

For his Benjamin recordings, he has also written a short biography of the composer, filling a serious gap in the literature.

His other writings include a biography of Katharine Parker.

Munro has recorded a wide range of music for ABC Classics, Hyperion, Cala, Naxos (including Marco Polo), Tall Poppies and Alto.

His recordings include his own realisations of some unfinished piano pieces by Franz Schubert; and Russell Gilmour's Keating Tangos and Whitlam Rags projects.

A recording of six concerti with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra for ABC Classics has been lost.

1997

As festival director, he presided over the "Pian' e Forte" piano festival in Hobart in 1997, during which seven recitals comprising the complete works for piano duet by Franz Schubert were presented.

1999

During his time in Hobart he created and played a series of four recitals, "One Hundred Nineteens", in 1999, comprising one work from each year of the 20th century.

The work was broadcast across Europe on radio and television, and was performed in Russia, although it has yet to receive a performance in Australia.
