In the Awards 2017 issue of Gramophone, on sale from September 13, we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Gramophone Classical Music Awards. Our exclusive coverage includes a presentation of the winners in all 12 categories, and also reveals the overall, coveted Recording of the Year. 

Elsewhere, Richard Osborne pays tribute to Victor de Sabata, the legendary conductor who died 50 years ago, and Paul Griffiths surveys the unique, jazz-infused idiom of British composer Mark-Anthony Turnage. We also present our new-look ‘For The Record’ news section, in which we interview Isabelle Faust about the origins of her treasured violin as well as Peter Donohoe about his all-Stravinsky piano album. Plus, don’t miss our expert critics’ opinions of the newest classical releases!
