Yunchan Lim, with Tchaikovsky: Seasons, and Viviane Audet, with Le Piano et Le Torrent, retain their hold on the top two spots in the Classical Chartz, respectively, for a second week in a row.<\/p>\n

At No. 3, Joyce DiDonato\u2019s Dido & Aeneas makes the climb from No. 7 last week, with Hauser\u2019s Cinema close behind. Hauser steps up from No. 8 to land at No. 4.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s one newcomer on the Classical Chartz this week: River of Music by The Kanneh-Masons, which rises from No. 13 to land at No. 10.<\/p>\n

The UK-based Kanneh-Mason family has been dubbed \u201cmusical marvels\u201d by The Guardian. This new album combines the talents of all seven siblings, including Isata, Braimah, Sheku, Konya, Jeneba, Aminata and Mariatu. The clan last got together for the Carnival album in 2020.<\/p>\n

This new release on the Deutsche Grammphon label includes new arrangements of folk songs and beloved works from the classical canon. At the heart of it is Schubert\u2019s Trout Quintet, a favourite of the family that the whole family grew listening to.<\/p>\n

River of Music was recorded in Abbey Road Studios during the summer of 2024, and celebrates the family\u2019s love of music, and their roots from Wales to Sierra Leone to Antigua.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a story about our family and the sources of our music. Music runs like a river through the generations, and our passion for listening and playing music comes from our grandparents, and from their stories, flowing from the places and dreams they passed on\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

The tracks include music by Coleridge-Taylor, Handel, Elgar, Chopin, Liszt, Dvorak, a traditional Welsh song and hymn by John Hughes, and an original piece by Isata Kanneh-Mason, in addition to the Schubert Piano Quintet in A major, D. 667.<\/p>\n
