4.0 out of 5 stars A Good start, 11 Jan 2001
This review is from: Sir Michael Tippett - The Nimbus Recordings [IMPORT] (Audio CD)
Nimbus records made this complication after Tippett's and it's a collection of previosly relesed material mostly conducted by the composer.

The box contains a nice variety of music for the unexperiensed Tippett fan. Personaly I would have enjoyed have one of his symphonies on this record.

There aren't a lot of Tippett recording on the market, but if you are looking for "the best" recording of his music I would prefer the Chandos/Hickox series, or (if you can find them)the out of print Phillips/Decca/Colin Davis recordings.
