MusicWeb International - The largest archive of classical music reviews

MusicWeb International is an authoritative online resource dedicated to classical music, which has been collecting and publishing in-depth and detailed reviews of audio recordings, interviews with musicians, analytical articles, concert reviews and much more for over 30 years. The site is one of the largest and most respected platforms in the world for classical lovers, specialists and music industry professionals.

Site Features

The MusicWeb Archive is a digital archive containing more than 60,000 reviews of classic recordings published over the past three decades. This makes it an invaluable resource for research, comparison and selection of new recordings. All materials are available free of charge, without advertising restrictions.

• Regular updates:New reviews published daily, Sunday to Thursday (UK time), starting December 2022.
• Team of Volunteers: The site is powered by the efforts of about 30 volunteer reviewers who contribute to the quality of the content.
• Catalog structure: Detailed categories are available: by month, by label, by work, by series, by composer, as well as case studies - for example, “Project of Cello Concertos” or “Review of Piano Trios.”
• Resources and reference books: The site offers unique sections: “National disc catalogues”, “Guide to composers of the 20th century”, “Online books”, “Interviews”, “Program notes”, “Potpourri - early music”.

Moving to a new platform

In 2023, MusicWeb International launched a modern mobile version of the site - musicwebinternational.com, which became the main platform for publishing new materials. The main site remains available as MusicWeb Archive and continues to function as a repository for historical data.

The new platform features an improved design, easy navigation, a clean interface and adaptability to any device. Although some old features are temporarily not migrated, the team is actively working to restore them.
