There was a lot of shuffling the deck when it comes to the Top Ten this week, although stalwart Lang Lang<\/strong> is still holding on to No. 1, and both Francesca Dego<\/strong> (Brahms & Busoni Violin Concertos, with the BBC Symphony) and the National Arts Centre Orchestra<\/strong> (Truth In Our Time) holding the line at Nos. 6 and 7 respectively.<\/p>\n

As Yo-Yo Ma<\/strong>, Emanuel Ax<\/strong> and Leonidas Kavakos<\/strong> march upwards to No. 2 with Beethoven for Three, the third in their recording series, Yannick N\u00e9zet-S\u00e9guin and l\u2019Orchestra Metropolitain<\/strong>, with Sibelius 2 & 5, Daniel Hope<\/a><\/strong>, and Il Divo<\/strong> make the drop to Nos. 3, 4, and 5 to make room.<\/p>\n

New to the Top Ten is the Montreal Symphony Orchestra<\/strong> and conductor Rafael Payare<\/strong> with Strauss, Ein Heldenleben \u2013 Mahler, R\u00fcckert-Lieder, making the leap from No. 11 to No. 8. The album was recorded at the Maison Symphonique in March of 2023 on the Pentatone label, and continues Payare\u2019s passion with late Romantic German\/Austrian repertoire. The two composers contrast each other in approach, in particular at this juncture of their careers. The work of both Strauss and Mahler, however, offer rich opportunities for contemplation. Bulgarian soprano Sonya Yoncheva<\/strong> is a rising star in the opera world, and was recently named Offici\u00e8re de l\u2019ordre de Arts et des lettres (Order of Arts and Letters) by the republic of France.<\/p>\n
