The Classic FM Chart - Sunday 6 October 2013

Classical BRIT winner Nicola Benedetti soars into the chart at No.3 with her new retrospective album, My First Decade.

At just 26, Nicola Benedetti has been making chart-topping recordings for a whole decade. Her new collection, My First Decade, celebrates the best of her recordings as well as featuring new versions of Brahms' Hungarian Dance no. 5, Monti's ever-popular Czardas, and Chopin's emotional Nocturne in C# minor. It has soared into the Classic FM Chart at No.3 - but will it threaten the three week reign of Luciano Pavarotti?
