Hyperion

Founded in 1980, Hyperion is a British classical label devoted to presenting high-quality recordings of music of all styles and periods from the twelfth century to the twenty-first. We named our label after an altogether splendid figure from Greek mythology. Hyperion was one of the Titans, and the father of the sun and the moon – and also of the Muses, so we feel that we are fulfilling his modern role by giving the art of music to the world. The repertoire available on Hyperion ranges over the entire spectrum of music – orchestral, chamber and instrumental, choral and solo vocal, sacred and secular – and much of it is unique to Hyperion. The catalogue currently comprises around 2000 albums and about 25 new titles are issued each year.
