Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I would endorse everything that is said by below by J Scott Morrison. "International Record Review", while obviously based on "Gramophone" magazine (it shares the general format and some of the same reviewers), has addressed most of "Gramophone"'s egregious faults.
1. There is far more space devoted to actual reviews of classical recordings (the primary purpose of both magazines), and far more CDs actually get reviewed.
2. Reviewers are not exclusively U.K.-based
3. The choice of recordings to review sems less constrained by advertising considerations.
4. More reviews of reissues of historical recordings.
5. No section on audio equipment (Gramophone's paltry and inadequate audio equipment reviews are obviously inserted to get advertising dollars from audio manufacturers) -- a subject which demands and deserves its own periodical.
All in all, this is probably your best bet if you want to subscribe to a classical music magazine
