This week, we take a look at the top 20 classical music albums of 2023. The list neatly illustrates the diversity of the classical music world today.<\/p>\n

Along with the superstars and stalwarts of the traditional repertoire, like Yuja Wang’s Rachmaninov, which sits at the top of the list, there is about equal representation of works like Qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise neo-classical composer and pianist Alexandra Str\u00e9liski\u2019s release Neo-Romance, which clocks in a No. 2.<\/p>\n

V\u00edkingur \u00d3lafsson is being compared to Glenn Gould with his recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations, sitting at No. 8. The Rotterdam Philharmonic and Lahav Shani anticipate next year’s anniversary with Bruckner’s Symphony No. 7, which turns up at position No. 9.<\/p>\n

Canadians figure strongly on the list, including a solid quotient of stars from la belle province. Along with Alexandra Str\u00e9liski, the Montr\u00e9al Symphony Orchestra and Rafael Payare offer In the Spirit: Sacred Music for Christmas (No. 3), Yannick N\u00e9zet-S\u00e9guin’s Clara & Robert Schumann Piano music (with Beatrice Rana and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, at No. 15), Bruce Liu’s Waves (No. 16), and Ang\u00e8le Dubeau and La Piet\u00e0 with their release of Signature: Philip Glass (No. 20).<\/p>\n

An interesting addition is Joe Hisaishi’s A Symphonic Celebration at No. 7. Hisaichi will be coming back to Toronto to conduct the TSO this spring.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s looking forward to another year of wonderful music and performances to enjoy.<\/p>\n
