Classic FM Breakfast with Dan Walker 6:30am - 9am
The Classic FM Chart - 25 January 2015, 5pm
Listen again as a whirlwind waltzes in from Vienna.
Every 1 January, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra take to the stage to usher in the new year - and within a week, the album is released for the whole world to enjoy. This year maestro Zubin Mehta was on the rostrum and their festivities have quick-stepped their way into this week's Chart. They have the highest new entry at No.6 but are still not a threat to the mighty triumvirate of Andre Rieu, Alfie Boe and Katherine Jenkins who have held onto the top three for weeks now.
Elsewhere ethereal all-girl vocal group Celeste enter at No. 17 with their debut album - a former Classic FM Album of the Week.
