Last week’s chart-topper Jon Batiste moves to No. 2 with Beethoven Blues. The innovative pianist’s genre-bending approach continues to captivate audiences, bridging the gap between classical and contemporary styles.
François Dompierre’s Requiem settles at No. 3 this week, after holding the second position. The cinematic scope of this work continues to resonate with listeners, drawing on the composer’s extensive experience in film scoring.
One of the week’s most notable movements comes from Silkroad Ensemble & Rhiannon Giddens, whose American Railroad jumps four spots to No. 5. This powerful collaboration explores the untold stories of the workers who built America’s Transcontinental Railroad, weaving together diverse musical traditions that reflect the project’s historical scope.
Rising star Lucienne Renaudin Vary makes an impressive leap from No. 14 to No. 8 with Winter Gardens, bringing fresh interpretations to the seasonal repertoire. Meanwhile, the Janoska Ensemble enters the top 10 with their innovative take on Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, demonstrating once again how classical masterworks can be reimagined for contemporary audiences.
