In our new special digital edition, Recordings of the Year 2023, you’ll find the 130 recordings that were selected as Editor’s Choices in the 13 issues of Gramophone we produced this year.

There has been some thrilling music-making captured on record this year and the 13 Recordings of the Month would make for quite a playlist were you to play them end to end.

Many featured in the Gramophone Classical Music Awards, and that annual celebration also adds to the celebratory mood of this magazine – we’ve reprised all the appreciative commentary we published around our winners to remind you of the riches, and variety. And if you want to watch the ceremony again, it remains free to view on our YouTube channel.

So, enjoy Gramophone's Recordings of the Year 2023 – happy listening, and here's to the inspirational recordings that await us in 2024!
