Classic FM Chart: Einaudi's 'Islands' is back on top

Classic FM Chart Week 43

Einaudi has jumped back to No.1 after one week at No.2. It's joined on the Classic FM Chart with four new entries.

Nothing keeps Einaudi away from the No.1 spot for long – after just a week at No.2, Islands takes its place back at the top of the chart. The No.2 album, Life by Igor Levit, has gained momentum and moved up four places since its chart entry last week. 

The Great War Symphony by Patrick Hawes commemorating the centenary of the end of World War One is now at No.4. It's followed by Libera's new album Beyond, which enters the chart at No.5. Other new albums on the chart this week are Destination Rachmaninov – Departure by Daniil Trifonov and The Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Music for Brass Septet Vol.6 by Septura, and Bailar Cantando by Jodi Savall.

Re-entries into the chart mean that John Williams now holds three places on the chart and Andrea Bocelli has two albums there too. But Einaudi still leads with an impressive five albums in the chart.
