The April 2024 issue of Gramophone features Finnish conductor Dalia Stasevska on the cover, whose new recording project – or ‘mixtape’ – showcases the breadth of modern orchestral music.

Elsewhere in the issue, we pay tribute to the legacy of Sir Neville Marriner, who would have been 100 this year.

Plus, we talk to pianist Lucas Debargue about recording the complete solo piano music of Gabriel Fauré.

Icons recalls the artistry of the Italian baritone Sesto Bruscantini, while Classics Reconsidered assesses the merits of the Raphael Ensemble’s 1988 recording of Brahms’s String Sextets.

The Collection looks at the recorded history of Tchaikovsky’s Second Piano Concerto and names the leading versions, our Contemporary Composers feature explores the music of Finnish composer Lotta Wennäkoski, and in Musician & the Score Semyon Bychkov talks about Smetana’s Má vlast.

Plus, as always, we bring you reviews by our expert critics of the latest classical music releases, with the best named Editor’s Choices.
