The ideal Hovhaness starter-pack, containing exemplary performances (for the most part stunningly well engineered) of three of the most memorable symphonies by this notoriously prolific figure, as well as a wide-ranging sprinkling of other works, from the blissful Third Quartet to the primeval landscape of And God Created Great Whales (1970) with its striking incorporation of actual whale song. If you missed out on these Delos specials first time round, you've no excuse now!'
