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

Yannick N\u00e9zet-S\u00e9guin<\/strong> and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe<\/strong> remain at No. 1 with no change from last week with their album Johannes Brahms<\/strong>. The release made a meteoric rise through the Classical Chartz to take hold of the top spot. It\u2019s the first release since 2010 for the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, founded in 1981 by musicians who had performed together in the European Community Youth Orchestra (now EUYO),.<\/p>\n

Andris Nelsons and the Vienna Phil<\/strong> reigned over the Classical Chartz from the No. 1 spot for weeks with their Summer Night Concert 2024<\/strong>, which fell to No. 2 last week, and No. 5 this week. Bridgerton Season 3: Covers From The Series<\/strong>, another former No. 1, hangs onto a place in the Top Ten at No. 7, falling from No. 5 last week.<\/p>\n

Bruce Liu<\/strong>\u2019s Waves: Music by Satie<\/strong> continues its steady rise, landing at No. 2 from No. 4 last week. The album features two versions of Satie\u2019s iconic works for piano, one recorded on a modern grand piano, and another on an upright, released together for the first time in a digital format.<\/p>\n

New to the Top Ten this week is Isata Kanneh-Mason<\/strong> and her album Mendelssohn<\/strong>, which lands at No. 8 from No. 11 last week. Isata Kanneh-Mason was the first artist to perform the \u2018Easter Sonata\u2019, attributed (finally) correctly to Fanny Mendelssohn (aka Fanny Hensel). In fact, Isata was featured in the film The Other Mendelssohn, which revealed the discovery that the piece, formerly attributed to much more famous brother Felix, had in fact been composed by Fanny.<\/p>\n

The album also includes Felix\u2019s Piano Concerto No.1 by Felix with the London Mozart Players, and transcriptions of Mendelssohn\u2019s work by other composers: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Op. 61: Scherzo (Transcr. Rachmaninoff for Piano); Liszt: Mendelssohns Lieder, S. 547; Mendelssohn: Lieder ohne Worte VI, Op. 67 (II & VI), along with Fanny\u2019s Notturno in G Minor, H-U 337.<\/p>\n
