\"Classical<\/p>\n

Enjoy new music with our classical music chart for this week. Our weekly selections are based on sales numbers and simply what albums we love and think you NEED to hear.<\/p>\n

For the complete top 20, tune into Classical Chartz<\/a><\/strong> with the New Classical FM\u2019s Mark Wigmore every Saturday from 3-5 p.m.<\/p>\n

\"Classical<\/p>\n

Andre Rieu\u2019s Jewels Of Romance maintains its grip on the No. 1 spot in this week\u2019s Top Ten. He\u2019s followed closely, though, by Daniel Hope\u2019s Dance, which rises up from No. 8 to claim the second spot in the list.<\/p>\n

There are several newcomers to the Top Ten, including Il Divo and XX, which vaults not only into the Top Ten, but the classical music chart itself at No. 3. It\u2019s hard to believe it, but Il Divo are celebrating 20 years of classical crossover with this release of pop tunes given their signature vocal spin. Songs are sung in English, Spanish and Italian.<\/p>\n

Three other albums have climbed up the charts more slowly into the Top Ten. Bryn Terfel\u2019s Sea Songs rose from 11 to No. 4. The\u00a0Welsh bass-baritone\u00a0offers a collection of sea-inspired songs, including folk tune, sea shanties, and more.<\/p>\n

The Toronto Symphony Orchestra\u2019s recording of Olivier Messiaen\u2019s Turangal\u00eela-Symphonie on the Harmonia Mundi label arrives at No. 8. Read more about the release here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Known primarily as a musician of extraordinary virtuosity, Marc-Andr\u00e9 Hamelin has also composed music for much of his career. His New Piano Works is a collection of just that – his own writing for solo piano. Not surprisingly for a pianist known for his technical brilliance, the pieces are complex, often riffing off other works, and sometimes with tongue firmly planted in cheek. Piano Works makes the climb from No. 15 to No. 10.<\/p>\n
