The April 2011 issue of Gramophone – now on sale – focuses on the often unfairly dismissed world of film music. In a 25-page special, Gramophone celebrates the art form, paying tribute to the life and legacy of John Barry, offering an indepth look at the music of Ennio Morricone (in a profile written by Hans Zimmer) and exploring the history of French film music. We also list our ten must-hear soundtracks.

Also in this issue:

- This month's Gramophone Collection looks at recordings of Vaughan Williams's Sinfonia antartica

- Pianist Yevgeny Sudbin talks to Gramophone as he embarks on his Beethoven concerto cycle with the Minnesota Orchestra

- Leading vocal conductor Paul Hillier reflects on the genius of Schütz in the Diary

- The latest news and reviews from the audio world in our High Fidelity section, and the most recent developments from the world of web music in James Jolly's Tune Surfing.

- Plus more than 140 reviews, including of course our Editor's Choice selection featuring the leading releases of the month.

Don't forget to visit the Gramophone Player, where you can hear excerpts from all the Editor's Choices, the Collection's recommended recordings, a newly transferred recording from the archives, and some film music to enjoy. Click here for more information.
