The Essential Hyperion - Highlights from the catalogue of 'Britain's brightest record label'. 'Pro rata the Hyperion catalogue seems to contain more desirable recordings than any other I know' Hi Fi Review

This generous CD is a perfect introduction to "Hyperion" catalogue and I could easily recommend it to anybody without reservations.

From Purcell to Erik Satie, from sacred music by 16. century giants to Franz Liszt, from joyful "Phil the fluter's Ball" to Boccherini this is just a pure pleasure. I often find myself enjoying these various selection because of the eccentric choice assembled - since music jumps from one century to another, it avoids repetitive atmosphere and it simply floats around nicely.
