Following the success of the first 10 albums in Hyperion’s Vinyl Edition (released in September 2024 and March 2025), six further LPs are announced today. All the albums are new to vinyl and feature globally touring artists with whom the label has enjoyed close, long-standing associations. Each of the six titles will be released as limited-edition 180gsm LPs, presented in full-colour gatefolds and including sleeve notes.
2025 marks the 60th anniversary of The Nash Ensemble, and Hyperion are celebrating the occasion with a programme of Debussy’s Sonatas & Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune. The original album was #1 in the UK Specialist Charts earlier this year, with The Times writing: ‘Sixty years have told us that with The Nash Ensemble’s musicians, whatever their repertoire, nothing can ever really go wrong.’
The Nash Ensemble, Resident Chamber Ensemble at London’s Wigmore Hall, is regarded as a standard-bearer of British music-making, and has been acclaimed by The Independent as a ‘chamber music group beyond compare’. The Nash Ensemble has built up a remarkable reputation as one of Britain’s finest ensembles and, through the dedication of its founder and artistic director Amelia Freedman and the calibre of its players, has gained a similar reputation all over the world.
