Hyperion’s year gets off to an enticing start with Angela Hewitt – The Bach Recordings. This 27-CD set replaces an earlier, and rather less comprehensive, box which sold out many years ago. Included here are all ten double albums and all seven singles album recorded by Angela Hewitt from her debut on the label in 1994 through to the series’ triumphant conclusion in 2018.

A new album from Signum Classics brings us A House of Ghosts & other piano works by Francis Pott, one of today’s most challenging composers for the instrument. Pott describes the title work here as a set of twelve ‘stray thoughts and modest ideas … like an intermittent diary’, and it is performed by Duncan Honeybourne alongside a generous medley of other works which includes the multi-award-winning Toccata.

Recording for their own label, the National Symphony Orchestra have recorded Mahler’s Symphony No 7, fully capturing the power and depth of its enigmatic mystery and majesty. Gianandrea Noseda’s expertise in grand orchestral works brings Mahler’s vision to life, offering a compelling interpretation that unveils the emotional and musical complexity of the symphony.
