Whitacre: Cloudburst Vinyl Edition (LP) { vinyl }

Hyperion’s collaborations with Stephen Layton and Polyphony over the years have resulted in some of finest choral recordings available, and Eric Whitacre: Cloudburst & 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.
