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

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.

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

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

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.
