Gramophone (known as The Gramophone prior to 1970) is a magazine published monthly[1] in London, devoted to classical music, particularly to reviews of recordings. It was founded in 1923 by the Scottish author Compton Mackenzie[2] who continued to edit the magazine until 1961.[3] It was acquired by Haymarket in 1999.[4] In 2013 the Mark Allen Group became the publisher.[5]
The magazine presents the Gramophone Awards each year to the classical recordings which it considers the finest in a variety of categories.
On its website Gramophone claims to be: "The world's authority on classical music since 1923." This used to appear on the front cover of every issue; recent editions have changed the wording to "The world's best classical music reviews."
Its circulation, including digital subscribers, was 24,380 in 2014.[6]
