1 December 2019, 18:55
The king of the waltz celebrates turning 70 with a selection of popular classics – and the album is straight in at No. 1, overtaking Aled Jones and Russell Watson.
Dutch violinist and maestro André Rieu celebrates turning 70 in style, as his new album Happy Days is straight in at No. 1 in the Classic FM Chart.
It’s good news for German film giant Hans Zimmer, who has been on tour this week, as his Symphonic Celebration disc reenters the chart.
Plus, there’s a new album from Ludovico Einaudi in the chart: his Seven Days Walking albums, combined in one boxset, are in at No. 6.
