Concert voor Orkest , Tripelconcert (1981)

De opname, uit 1981, van het Tripelconcert won in 1982 de Gramophone Record Of The Year Award: "Tippett's Triple Concerto, a work of enormous richness and musical satisfaction, is also one that presents formidable problems to performers and recording engineers. The soloists are masterly; but so is the orchestra, which has some passages of the greatest difficulty, and includes such unusual instruments as the bass oboe a beautiful and neglected instrument seldom heard outside the confines of Delius's Dance Rhapsody No. 1. Sir Colin directs it all with an amazing sense of freedom for so closely composed and still novel a work." Op CD werd dat concert aangevuld met de legendarische eerste opname van het Concert voor Orkest, uit 1964, onder dezelfde dirigent.
