Gramophone is a magazine published monthly in London and devoted to classical music, particularly recordings. Packed with features across all classical music genres, its globally acclaimed writers inform and entertain you with independent and intelligent editorial and more than 150 reviews in every issue. Gramophone's reputation is founded on its acclaimed critical analyses of the latest CD releases, in-depth features and interviews with classical stars, and its comprehensive coverage of recorded and live music.

The July 2013 issue celebrates the Proms -- "the world's greatest music festival", according to Daniel Barenboim, who speaks to Geoffrey Norris about conducting Wagner's Ring at this year's Proms. Our Proms 2013 coverage also includes features on the evolution of the Proms, Michael Tippett's music at the festival, and full concert listings and broadcast details.

Also this issue: Philip Clark discusses the music of Christopher Fox for Contemporary Composers; Andrew Mellor attends an epic Strauss recording by the Choirs of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge and King's College London for our Session Report; Tasmin Little writes about recording Britten in the Musician's Diary; Franz Welser-Möst unravels Bruckner's Fourth Symphony in the Musician and the Score; and Caroline Gill surveys Sir Peter Maxwell Davies's new anthology for the Golden Jubilee.

Plus, the month's new classical music releases are reviewed by our expert critics, including our Recording of the Month, Dvořák's Stabat mater performed by Collegium Vocale, Ghent and the Royal Flemish Philharmonic conducted by Philippe Herreweghe, released on PHI.
