Classic FM Chart: new entries for James Horner and Leonard Bernstein
19 August 2018, 18:55
Einaudi holds the top spot, but two legends of American music enter the top 10...
The late, great composers James Horner and Leonard Bernstein made their respective marks on the chart this week. A new compilation of James Horner's greatest movie music moments, performed by a new crop of young artists including Lindsey Stirling and Tina Guo, entered at no 7, while Bernstein's symphonies 1-3 conducted by Antonio Pappano snuck in behind at no.8.
The top three remain the same: Ludovico Einaudi's perennially popular compilation holds the top spot after reclaiming it last week, while Sheku Kanneh-Mason and Classic FM's 'The Classics You Know' compilation hold strong.
