For the February issue of Gramophone, on sale from January 22, we talk to Hilary Hahn who, after a year-long, self-imposed sabbatical, is releasing a Paris-inspired album on DG.

Elsewhere, conductor Gerard Schwarz champions five mid-20th-century European composers who settled in America. In addition, in this month’s Collection, Andrew Mellor listens to the available recordings of Grieg’s Haugtussa, the composer’s only song-cycle, and chooses his favourite.

Plus, don’t miss our expert critics’ opinions of the newest classical releases: which will be named Editor’s Choice, and which overall recording will be crowned Recording of the Month?
