Album of the Year
Album of the year
The best of an inspiringly musical 2023
Outwards and inwards
Drawing the ear into every era of western music
Album of the year
Rich pickings in dark times
The fables of Davos Man
Yuval Noah Harari has written another long book with little wisdom
Libyans, Parisians and London Irish
Dry-ish, spare, clear-eyed — rare in a world of literary bloat, sentiment and overstatement

The Critic guide to glass ceilings
On the self-made men (and women!) of the Labour Party
Why Christian culture is essential to education
It deeply informed our art and our ideas
The DUP aren’t tough negotiators
The party that claimed to stand up for unionists capitulated at every turn
Exilic yearnings
Miklos Rozsa: violin concerto (LSO Live)
The expensive problem with the minimum wage
Higher wages for some, perhaps, but joblessness for others
Stick ‘em up
Has the culture war been won?
Two cheers for pedestrianisation
Pedestrianisation cannot solve all of Oxford Street’s problems
