That is good news!

[eschiss1]

Agreed!

[albion]

Thanks for spotting this, Morten. Another enterprising release to look forward to in the coming months ...

[M. Henriksen]

Are any of these first recordings?


Morten

[albion]

As far as I know (I may be wrong) they are all first recordings.

[Alan Howe]

Yes, a mouthwatering release - slobber, slobber 

[Mark Thomas]

I'll add to the chorus of thanks, Morten. It promises to be a good year for us unsung fanatics, if not for our wallets.

[M. Henriksen]

Don't thank me, Hyperion deserves the credit here. And I'm prepared to empty my wallet as long as it is for a good cause!

Glad to see Hyperion hasn't completely given up on British music. Lately (the Gothic being a *massive* exception) they seem to have slowed down on that front a bit

[Lionel Harrsion]

Don't thank me, Hyperion deserves the credit here. And I'm prepared to empty my wallet as long as it is for a good cause!

Morten

My wallet's already empty but I'll have to scrape together enough to get this, if I buy no other CDs this year.

Ooooooooooooo.........!!!!! I've gone into prolonged drool.

Bur before the 2-for-the-price-of-one tempts you too much, note that it is a 81 minute set. Still 81 minutes on a single disc is generous. I will buy this.

[M. Henriksen]

Sleeve notes and excerpts are now available!
