Gramophone  |  April 2020
For the April issue of Gramophone, on sale from March 20, our current Artist of the Year Víkingur Ólafsson talks to Editor Martin Cullingford inReykjavík about his new recording of Rameau and Debussy for DG, while Rob Cowan ditches the ‘usual suspects’ and recommends Beethoven recordings of major works that are all too often overlooked. Plus, our annual bumper Festivals Guide highlights the very best music events in the UK, Europe and North America plus even further afield.
Elsewhere, in Collection Richard Osborne tackles that pillar of Western classical music, Beethoven’s Ninth, and settles on his overall favourite recording, while in Classics Reconsidered, Peter Quantrill and David Gutman weigh up the 1970 recording of Horenstein’s Mahler 3 – has it retained its ‘collector’ status, half a century later? And, as always, don’t miss our expert critics’ opinions of the newest classical releases – which will be named Editor’s Choice, and which overall recording will be crowned Recording of the Month?
