The beloved classical recording label Hyperion has settled its dispute with a musicologist who sued over copyright. “Hyperion last week settled costs with Carter Ruck, the firm which represented Lalande, Lionel Sawkins, after receiving an invoice for £758,000. The final settlement left Hyperion with a total bill of £950,000, which included their own costs and damages to Dr Sawkins – close to what Hyperion would spend on music-making over an entire year.”
