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 This week\u2019s Classical Chartz Top Ten is a shuffling of the cards, with no newcomers, but some significant shifts instead.<\/p>\n That doesn\u2019t include the No. 1 position, held down by Yannick N\u00e9zet-S\u00e9guin\u00a0and the\u00a0Chamber Orchestra of Europe<\/strong>\u00a0with their album\u00a0Johannes Brahms: The Symphonies<\/strong> for yet another week. Likewise, Joe Hisaishi and the Vienna Symphony<\/strong>, which sit at No. 10 for a second week with Joe Hisaishi in Vienna<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In between, four releases are recording upwards motion on the Classical Chartz. Janine Jansen<\/strong>, with Sibelius \u2014 Prokofiev 1 \u2014 Violin Concertos<\/strong> steps up from No. 9 to No. 8. As a recording artist, it\u2019s a triumphant return to the concerto for the Dutch violinist after a nine year gap. The fact that she performs with conductor Klaus M\u00e4kel\u00e4 and the Oslo Philharmonic doesn\u2019t hurt her case; the recording of a live concert that took place during the summer of 2023 captures their synergy.<\/p>\n Isata Kanneh-Mason<\/strong>\u2019s Mendelssohn<\/strong> jumps from No. 8 up to No. 5 this week. The rising star of the famously musical family dives into three works that tell a story: Felix Mendelssohn\u2019s Piano Concerto No. 1, Fanny Mendelssohn\u2019s Easter Sonata, along with transcriptions by Liszt and Rachmaninov, and other works for solo piano by both siblings. Isata was featured in the film The Other Mendelssohn, which revealed the talented of the overlooked sister Fanny, later Fanny Hensel.<\/p>\n Pl\u00ednio Fernandes<\/strong> and Cinema<\/strong> make the leap from No. 6 up to No. 3. On it, the master guitarist interprets five of his favourite movie themes and soundtracks. That includes music from the films Cinema Paradiso, Amelie, Breakfast at Tiffany\u2019s, Howl\u2019s Moving Castle, and The Deer Hunter. The arrangements are neoclassical and showcase his sensitive playing.<\/p>\n The Poor Clares of Arundel<\/strong> leap from No. 4o last week to the No. 2 spot with their release My Peace I Give To You<\/strong>. Founded by Clare of Assisi and Francis of Assisi on Palm Sunday in the year 1212, the Poor Clares of Arundel are known officially as the Order of Saint Clare, among other names. The Poor Clares are an enclosed order of nuns in the Roman Catholic Church, and My Peace I Give You is their second major release. The album of 13th century music was recorded at their convent chapel in Arundel, West Sussex, UK, and was mixed at the legendary Abbey Road studios.<\/p>\n Are you looking to promote an event<\/u><\/span><\/a>?
