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.
Hyperion’s collaborations with Stephen Layton and Polyphony over the years have resulted in some of finest choral recordings available, and Eric Whitacre: Cloudburst & other choral works really is something else: described on BBC Radio 3 as ‘staggering’ and by The Times as ‘a winner’, this iconic Grammy-nominated album introduced Whitacre’s unique compositional voice to a global audience.
Polyphony was formed by Stephen Layton in 1986 for a concert in King’s College Chapel, Cambridge. Since then the choir has performed and recorded regularly to critical acclaim throughout the world.
