Classical Court From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here. |

I have just been emailed a link for Gramophone digital subscribers to the special electronic edition that is recordings selected for the shortlist for the 2021 Gramophone Awards.
The first thing that caught my eye was a full page ad from Apple congratulating the nominees. I do not recall Apple having ever placed an ad in Gramophone before. Now Gramophone is, how can I put this, always commercially sensitive ;-). This year's category list includes Orchestral, Chamber, Opera, Instrumental etc. as one would expect. However a new category has been added ; Spatial Audio ! It comes with a "Listen on Apple" logo and, of course, Apple's current big push is Dolby Atmos. Hmmm.....
