\"CLASSICAL<\/p>\n

There are three new releases in the Top Ten this week. Lang Lang\u2019s newest, simply titled Saint-Sa\u00ebns, includes two CDs worth of music, and lands on the chart at the No. 5 position. It includes a wealth of music from the French composer, from his perennially popular Carnival of the Animals, to works for solo and four hands, performed by Lang Lang with wife, pianist Gina Alice. The second disc incorporates work from a range of French composers often overlooked by today\u2019s concert programmers, including Ravel, Debussy, Delibes, Faur\u00e9, and five women composers of the early 20th century \u2014 Louise Farrenc, Lili Boulanger, Charlotte Sohy, M\u00e9lanie Bonis alias Mel Bonis, and Germaine Tailleferre.<\/p>\n

The National Arts Centre Orchestra and Truth In Our Time climbs from last week\u2019s No. 11 position up to 6. You can check out our interview with conductor Alexander Shelley here<\/a>, where he talks about the contemporary relevance of the album\u2019s theme, as well as it musical selections. That includes Philip Glass\u2019 Symphony No. 13, dedicated to late journalist Peter Jennings, and Canadian violin virtuoso James Ehnes as the soloist for Korngold\u2019s Violin Concerto in D major.<\/p>\n

Renaud Capu\u00e7on\u2019s Les Chose de la Vie \u2014 Cinema II is a follow up to his uber-popular Cinema album, released in 2018. In 2024, the French violinist takes another dive into the vast repertoire of film music. The selections on the new release are eclectic in terms of source material, and range from Michel Legrand\u2019s The Windmills of Your Mind to Georges Delerue\u2019s Concerto de l\u2019adieu from the war film Di\u00ean Bi\u00ean Phu. He\u2019s joined by French orchestra Les Si\u00e8cles and their conductor Duncan Ward as the album makes the climb from No. 13 to No. 4.<\/p>\n
