30 years of MusicWeb International by Len Mullenger
2025 is the year in which MusicWeb achieves a significant milestone; it is thirty years ago that I founded the site, way back in 1995.
I hope I will be forgiven for blowing my own – and MusicWeb’s – trumpet. Over these thirty years we have diligently presented reviews of extremely high quality, unmatched in quantity by any other site. We are the number one leading site, with 61,000 CD reviews to date and multitudes of articles, and we are immensely proud of all that. I am immensely grateful to all the contributors to MusicWeb, both past and current, whose efforts have enabled us to achieve all this. My particular thanks go to my management team of David Barker, Ralph Moore, John Quinn and Jonathan Woolf whose strong support I rely so much on.

The endgame of human existence is where we find the protagonists of this summer’s Salzburg Festival: siblings languishing in the Russian provinces in Peter Eötvös’s Three Sisters, a woman lost in the forest in Schoenberg’s Erwartung and a mournful, lonely wanderer in Mahler’s ‘Der Abschied’. The doctor in Vladimir Sorokin’s deadly blizzard is likewise caught up in extreme circumstances, as is the despondent prophetess Cassandra in Michael Jarrell’s adaptation of Christa Wolf’s novella.
