The January issue of Gramophone is now on sale, in which we celebrate the waltz, from its 19th-century heyday to its role in contemporary culture.

Also this issue: Geraint Lewis investigates Sir Adrian Boult's championing of new British music; Michael McManus remembers Polish composer Witold Lutosławski; Christopher Purves describes the challenge of recording Handel's bass arias in Musician's Diary; tenor Rolando Villazón tapes Verdi arias and songs under Gianandrea Noseda in our Session Report; violinist James Ehnes delves into Bartók's Solo Sonata with Rob Cowan in The Musician and the Score; and the Gramophone editorial team choose their musical highlights of 2012.

The month’s new classical music releases are also reviewed by our expert critics – including our Recording of the Month, Vinci's Artaserse featuring Philippe Jaroussky, Max Emanuel Cencic and Concerto Köln on Virgin Classics. Hear an excerpt below:
