Dreamland: Contemporary Choral Riches from the Hyperion Catalogue

Includes recordings by Polyphony & Stephen Layton

A new and intriguing sampler features a selection of pieces from Hyperion’s extensive and varied choral collection. This 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.

Includes Polyphony recordings of Gabriel Jackson, Sir John Tavener, Morten Lauridsen, Arvo Pärt & Eric Whitacre.

Label: Hyperion
