Your Favourite Hyperion Discs

[Alison]

Steven Osborne's recording of Messiaen's Vingt Regards sur l'enfant-Jésus - a truly great performance.

OOh, can I change my mind please ?

[Richard Tarleton]

And on Hyperion's Helios series (does that count?) Paul O'Dette's magical "Ancient Airs and Dances", the source material for Respighi.

Having pondered, I'd go for Bob Simpson, String Quartet #10 (For Peace) & #11.

Have I misunderstood? Didn't the OP refer to our "favourite discs"? We don't have to choose just one, do we? (I thought that was against the Geneva Convention or such like.)

I hope so - that's where all the Hanover Band Haydn Symphonies are!

Well, he was addressing the forum (and the public unless this contentious topic has been side-barred), so he wasn't expecting us to share one disc amongst us all!

That doesn't mean we have to individually choose more than one. I know my rights.

Music lovers with a sense of entitlement. Go Beefy !!

anyway, anybody got any idea where a person might get to hear Robert Simpson's chamber music, prior to a prospective purchase?
Cheers.

After that story in the news, I'm not sure about Devizes at all

Having fond memories of Ted Perry and still being in touch with some of the current production teams, there aren't many that I wouldn't like to have. However, some people seem to differ - http://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/o.asp?o=1016&vw=dc . I can certainly understand the aversion to Liszt!

For anyone interested in downloads, there's a free monthly sampler taken from their new releases. Here's September's...

Schubert Lieder (as mentioned) + Schumann Lieder box

Brahms String Sextets, Raphael Ensemble

Leslie Howard - Complete Liszt on a formidable 99 CDs! (of which I have a mere three - the Schubert Lieder transcriptions.)

Davitt Moroney - The Keyboard Music of William Byrd, of which I knew almost nothing before investing in this set.

[Ruhevoll]

Thanks to all for your suggestions. The Hyperion catalogue is rather unwieldy for the uninitiated. Lots for me to mull over and sample.

This has been on my wishlist for a while, as I don't own these works. However, this is now on the Helios label and so quite cheap. Perhaps I should get something full-price, since it's free.
