Classic FM Chart: New entries claim winning spots
7 April 2019, 18:55
A surprise turn in this week's chart gives the No. 1 and 2 positions to new entries.
Four new entries make it on to the chart this week, and a surprising shift means that neither Einaudi or Andrea Bocelli are at No. 1.
This week's No. 1 slot goes to Henryk Górecki: Symphony No. 3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs) performed by Beth Gibbons and The Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra. Lang Lang's new release Piano Book makes it in at No. 2, while lower down the chart a recording of Elgar enters at No. 12 and The Romantic Piano Concerto enters at No. 18.
