With Yannick and The Chamber Orchestra of Europe<\/strong> holding down the top spot on the Classical Chartz Top Ten for another week with the release Johannes Brahms<\/strong>, Isata Kanneh-Mason<\/strong> and Mendelssohn<\/strong>, her exploration of the musical family, rises from No. 5 to take the No. 2 spot.<\/p>\n

Two other releases demonstrate forward motion up through the Chartz this week, and both are newcomers to the Top Ten.<\/p>\n

Joana Mallwitz & Konzerthausorchester Berlin<\/strong> make a giant leap from No. 12 last week to the No. 5 spot this week with The Kurt Weill Album<\/strong>. Mallwitz, the first woman to lead the Konzerhaudorchester Berlin in its history, makes her debut recording with the ensemble on the DG label in a celebration of Kurt Weill. Weill\u2019s music, and his early heyday, came as part of a group of left leaning artists during Berlin\u2019s Weimar Era between the world wars. In Berlin, Weill collaborated with Bertolt Brecht to produce some of his most famous works during the 1920s and 30s, including The Threepenny Opera.<\/p>\n

The recording includes Weill\u2019s first two symphonies, rarely heard works composed in 1921 (while studying with Busoni) and 1934, and his Die Sieben Tods\u00fcnden (The Seven Deadly Sins), featuring singer-actor Katharine Mehrling in the role of Anna.<\/p>\n

Landing at No. 10 for her debut on the Classical Chartz is Mari Samuelsen<\/strong> and Life<\/strong>. The Norwegian violinist\u2019s new release was inspired by the birth of he second child, but she\u2019s said she\u2019s hoping the beauty of the music will connect with many listeners, parents or not. \u201cI play music because I want to tell stories,\u201d she says in the liner notes. \u201cThey have something personal \u2014 but I want them to be relatable for as many people as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The track list focuses on the works of contemporary stars like Ludovico Einaudi, Nils Frahm and Bryce Dessner, throwing in Franz Schubert\u2019s Piano Quintet in A Major just for fun. String players of Scoring Berlin, conducted by Jonathan Stockhammer, and other guest musicians, fill in the parts.<\/p>\n
