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 There\u2019s a shake-up at the top of the Classical Chartz this week, where opera stars reign supreme. Jonas Kaufmann<\/strong> and his Puccini Love Affairs<\/strong> takes over the No. 1 spot, a short step up from No. 2 last week. Canadian soprano Emily D\u2019Angelo<\/strong> and her release Freezing<\/strong> make the leap from No. 6 to the No. 2 spot this week.<\/p>\n Two newcomers enter the Classical Chartz Top Ten for the week of October 7, 2024. The Canadian Chamber Choir rises from No. 11 last week to land at the No. 6 spot this week.<\/p>\n The Canadian Chamber Choir<\/a> <\/strong>performed in Toronto recently to promote the album Where Waters Meet. The JUNO-nominated choir is unique, in that it draws members from across Canada, and their mandate includes supporting choral music overall, along with their own performing and recording projects. Where Waters Meet<\/strong> is part of the choir\u2019s commitment to truth and reconciliation, commissioned by composer Carmen Braden in 2017. The Yellowknife based composer incorporates texts written by Indigenous poet Yolanda Bonnell, the singers, and Braden himself. The choir collaborates with traditional Cres singer, composer, and music educator Sherryl Sewepagaham on the album.<\/p>\n At No. 9, the Danish String Quartet<\/strong> enter the Top Ten with Keel Road<\/strong>, up from No. 13 previously. According to the liner notes, the album is a kind of \u201cretracing of musical pathways across the North Sea, a journey through the sounds of traditional music from Northern Europe, taking us from Denmark and Norway to the Faroe Islands, and to Ireland and England.\u201d<\/p>\n Folk music and melodies dominate the album, including original compositions by Rune Tonsgaard S\u00f8rensen and Fredrik Sch\u00f8yen Sj\u00f6lin, along with arrangements of music by Irish composer Turlough O\u2019Carolan, traditional music, and more.<\/p>\n The musicians of the Danish String Quartet are Rune Tonsgaard S\u00f8rensen (violin, harmonium, fiddle, spinet, whistle), Frederik \u00d8land (violin, whistle), Asbj\u00f8rn N\u00f8rgaard (viola, whistle), and Fredrik Sch\u00f8yen Sj\u00f6lin (cello, bass, whistle); they are joined on the album by Nikolaj Busk (piano) and Ale Carr (cittern).<\/p>\n Are you looking to promote an event<\/u><\/span><\/a>?
