I think we all know he'll get the Hyperion set. It's just a question of an itchy trigger finger now. :)

Eventually....but I am actually trying to control my expenses, and the list price for either set  is well above the amount I normally pay.

It's also true that thanks to that Arkivmusic sale I have about twenty sets of various sorts to go through before I need to look for anything new!

If you buy the Hyperion set as a box then you wont have Graham Johnson's extensive notes, which is part of the attraction of the Hyperion set, though many individual discs are also essential performances. Try to find second hand copies of the original single discs with the big fat booklets.

The Naxos discs with a fortepiano accompaniment are by far the most interesting and should be sought first of theirs.

But the ideal collection is a variety of great singers from a variety of ages and labels.
They are all available on the website.
Be kind to your fellow posters!!
