7 October 2018, 18:55 | Updated: 19 October 2018, 15:26
Einaudi stays at No. 1 and four new albums enter the chart.
This week’s top 10 stays almost the same as the previous chart – Einaudi is No. 1 with Islands, and The Great War Symphony by Patrick Hawes, Evolution by Alexis Ffrench and John Williams’ Solo – A Star Wars Story remain among the favourites. Sleep by Max Richter has jumped up nine places since last week and now claims the No. 5 spot.
Four new entries make it into the Classic FM Chart this week – a recording of Bronsart/Urspruch: Piano Concertos from Emmanuel Despax, A Sea Symphony by Vaughan Williams recorded by the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Martyn Brabbins, Chopin/Schubert: Cello Sonata & Arppeggione Sonata recorded by Steven Isserlis and Dénes Várjon, and Johann Sebastian Bach by Vikingur Olafsson. Placido Domingo and Il Volo also re-enter the chart at No. 28 with Notte Magica – A Tribute to the Three Tenors.
