Polyphony - Whitacre: Cloudburst and Other Choral Works - LP
Grammy-Nominated Choral Album on 180g Vinyl LP!
2007 Grammy Award Nominee:
• Best Choral Performance: Cloudburst and Other Choral Works
Hyperion's collaborations with Stephen Layton and Polyphony over the years have resulted in some of finest choral recordings available, and Eric Whitacre: Cloudburst and 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.
A highlight of the Hyperion choral catalogue, this album—a compelling combination of composer, conductor and choir—proved a runaway critical and commercial success on its 2006 release.
