Gramophone 04+05.2026



 In the May 2026 issue of Gramophone, Sean Shibe reflects on his championing of contemporary guitar music, while Leif Ove Andsnes revisits the legacy of Geirr Tveitt and Nico Muhly considers the enduring pull of the Anglican choral tradition

This month, our cover artist Sean Shibe discusses his new album of contemporary guitar works by Harrison Birtwistle, James Dillon and Thomas Adès. Martin Cullingford talks to Shibe about his personal advocacy of their work and to Thomas Adès about collaborating with this creative musician.

Elsewhere in this issue, Leif Ove Andsnes discusses the music of Norwegian composer Geirr Tveitt with Harriet Smith, the pianist’s new album is centred on Tveitt’s only remaining piano sonata. And with two albums released this Spring – from The Tallis Scholars and the Choir of Magdalen College Oxford – Nico Muhly’s music seems to be everywhere. Hattie Butterworth meets him and finds a mixture of infectious enthusiasm and deep commitment to the Anglican choral tradition.
