Classic FM Chart: Sheku Kanneh-Mason and Ludovico Einaudi hold onto the top spots
29 July 2018, 18:55
The cellist and composer-pianist reign supreme in the Classic FM Chart, as they hold the No. 1 and No. 2 positions for the fourth consecutive week.
Today (29 July) marks Sheku’s tenth week at No. 1, as his debut album Inspiration continues to fly off the proverbial shelves.
La Serenissima’s recording of Vivaldi’s Double Concertos for Oboes with Adrian Chandler has entered the chart at No. 3, just behind Kanneh-Mason and Einaudi. The rest of the top 10 stays fairly static, with the soundtracks to Incredibles 2 and The Little Mermaid up one place each at No. 4 and 5.
The second and only other new entry in the chart is Takacs Quartet’s recording of Beethoven’s Late String Quartets, which has landed at No. 16.
Meanwhile, music from the Royal Wedding proves as popular as ever, with the official 2018 album still in the chart at No. 20 – 10 weeks after the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
