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\u00a0Classical Chartz<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0with the New Classical FM\u2019s Mark Wigmore every Saturday from 3-5 p.m.\"\"<\/p>\n

Andrea Bocelli<\/strong>\u00a0claims the number one spot this week with\u00a0Duets (30th Anniversary)<\/strong>, climbing from No. 3. The celebrated tenor’s anniversary collection showcases his remarkable collaborative spirit across three decades of music-making.<\/p>\n

Last week’s chart-topper\u00a0Jon Batiste<\/strong>\u00a0moves to No. 2 with\u00a0Beethoven Blues<\/strong>. The innovative pianist’s genre-bending approach continues to captivate audiences, bridging the gap between classical and contemporary styles.<\/p>\n

Fran\u00e7ois Dompierre’s Requiem<\/strong>\u00a0settles at No. 3 this week, after holding the second position. The cinematic scope of this work continues to resonate with listeners, drawing on the composer’s extensive experience in film scoring.<\/p>\n

One of the week’s most notable movements comes from\u00a0Silkroad Ensemble & Rhiannon Giddens<\/strong>, whose\u00a0American Railroad<\/strong>\u00a0jumps four spots to No. 5. This powerful collaboration explores the untold stories of the workers who built America’s Transcontinental Railroad, weaving together diverse musical traditions that reflect the project’s historical scope.<\/p>\n

Rising star\u00a0Lucienne Renaudin Vary<\/strong>\u00a0makes an impressive leap from No. 14 to No. 8 with\u00a0Winter Gardens<\/strong>, bringing fresh interpretations to the seasonal repertoire. Meanwhile, the\u00a0Janoska Ensemble<\/strong>\u00a0enters the top 10 with their innovative take on\u00a0Vivaldi’s Four Seasons<\/strong>, demonstrating once again how classical masterworks can be reimagined for contemporary audiences.<\/p>\n
