Take pleasure in new music with our classical music chart for this week. Our weekly picks are primarily based on gross sales numbers and easily what albums we love and suppose you NEED to listen to.
For the entire high 20, tune into Classical Chartz with the New Classical FM’s Mark Wigmore each Saturday from 3-5 p.m.
Neoclassical music and the Baroque interval appear to have a stranglehold on the higher finish of the Classical Chartz.
Remarkably, the highest three spots on the Classical Chartz stay unchanged from final week, with Jean-Michel Blais and Lara Somogyi retaining their No. 1 place with Desert for a 3rd week in a row. Proper behind, Bach with the Nationwide Arts Centre Orchestra and James Ehnes keep at No. 2, and Bach: Goldberg Variations by Nevermind stay unchanged and unbothered at No. 3.
With loads of shuffling in between the ranks, the newcomer for this week lands at No. 10 — Shostakovich: Cello Concertos with Yo-Yo Ma and the Boston Symphony Orchestra below the baton of Andris Nelsons.
“I feel Shostakovich’s creative reality was to characterize the voice of the unvoiced,” Yo-Yo Ma says within the liner notes for the Deutsche Grammophon launch.
The album was recorded stay at Boston Symphony Corridor in October 2023 by Hollywood producer Shawn Murphy and BSO recording engineer Nick Squire. The releases have been timed to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the composer’s demise.
The Cello Concerto No. 1 in E-Flat Main, Op. 107 and Cello Concerto No. 2 in G Main, Op. 126 provide contrasting moods, virtuosity and drama, with notable point out of the work by BSO Principal Horn Richard Sebring within the former, and extra well-known, work. Each had been composed comparatively late in Shostakovich’s profession; Concerto No. 1 was written for his good friend Mstislav Rostropovich in 1959, and No. 2 accomplished in 1966.
