Traditionally, the best aspects of Gramophone for me have been those lists of new releases and all the advertising devoted to new releases; I am a sucker for those ads. I have found the Gramophone reviews worthy enough to read but providing less insight than in ARG or Fanfare. >That may be true, but I don't recall ever seeing a review which mentioned >an earlier mini-review. Has anyone else? I haven't either. I think this is a case where Gramophone reserves the right to follow up a mini-review with a bigger one. Overall, I don't care for the mini-reviews - they pretty much tell me nothing. Also, it does give the impression that those recordings afforded a mini-review just didn't rate the big-time.
