Classic FM Chart: Bryn Terfel enters the chart at No.1

28 October 2018, 18:55

Chart 43

Bryn Terfel's new album 'Dreams and Songs' enters the chart at No.1, knocking Einaudi off the top spot.

Not many artists can jump to No.1 with a new album, but Bryn Terfel has done just that with his new release Dreams and Songs. The album, including duets with Emma Thompson, Alfie Boe and Rob Brydon, has displaced Einaudi's Islands from the top of the chart. 

Alexis Ffrench's album Evolution catches a second wind this week and moves up three places to No.3, above one of the chart stalwarts, The Real Classical.

Other new entries on the chart this week are Bach: The Cello Suites – Recomposed by Peter Gregson, and A Walk with Ivor Gurney by Tenebrae, the Aurora Orchestra and Nigel Short. They enter the chart at No.11 and No.17 respectively. 

Two re-entries make it back into the chart this week from two world-famous Welsh artists: Karl Jenkins and Katherine Jenkins.
