About

This new and intriguing sampler features a selection of pieces from Hyperion’s extensive and varied choral collection. The disc seeks to give a flavour of the contemporary choral music recorded by Hyperion over the last decade.

Whilst on one level it can stand alone as a tribute to the beauty of its composers’ writing and choirs’ singing, it also lifts the lid on the albums from which the tracks are drawn. A perfect introduction to the magic new worlds of sound that await the listener.
