Gramophone | March 2024
In this month's Gramophone we talk to Jonas Kaufmann, perhaps the starriest tenor since Pavarotti, about his new recording of Wagner’s Parsifal, as well as discussing other repertoire from Puccini to Strauss. Other major interviews this month include fellow tenor - and demonstrating how varied that voice can be - Cyrille Dubois, plus conductor and devoted champion of music both known and unfamiliar, JoAnn Falletta. Our Contemporary Composer this issue is American composer Elena Ruehr, while the Musician & the Score focusses on Beethoven’s ‘Hammerklavier’ Sonata in the company of Beatrice Rana. Julian Lloyd Webber celebrates the legacy of the great cellist Mstislav Rostropovich in Icons, while in Classics Reconsidered we revisit Brigitte Fassbaender’s gripping yet uncompromising 1988 recording of Schubert’s Winterreise. The Collection examines Rachmaninov’s Third Symphony, tracing its recorded history and recommending the best versions to listen to - plus, as always, our world-leading critics review the latest classical music releases on CD, DVD and download, with the best being crowned ‘Editor’s Choice’.
