To mark 150 years since Schoenberg’s birth, in this month's cover story we explore the music, life and legacy of this pioneering 20th-century composer.

We also meet the vocal ensemble Gesualdo Six, who mix early music excellence with contemporary composers, as they release their latest album.

As Decca unveils a celebratory set devoted to the famed producer John Culshaw, James Jolly tells the story of why his impact, and art, was so significant.

Elsewhere in the issue Pavel Kolesnikov and Samson Tsoy talk us through one of the finest of works for piano four hands, Schubert’s F minor Fantasie, we celebrate the great harpsichordist Wanda Landowska, explore the growing catalogue of music by Scottish composer Stuart MacRae, and listen to the many recordings of Schütz’s Musicalische Exequien and name the best in our Collection feature.
