The Classic FM Chart has two new entries at No. 3 and No. 5, but nothing can nudge Sheku Kanneh-Mason from the top spot, as the cellist holds No. 1 for the eighth consecutive week.

Once again, Kanneh-Mason’s Inspiration holds the No. 1 spot in the Classic FM Chart, closely followed by Einaudi’s Islands – an long-time favourite in the top five.

Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s recording of Shostakovich’s symphonies has jumped in at No. 3, nudging John Williams: A Life in Music down to No. 4. 

There are two further new entries in the chart, with Sir Richard Rodney Bennett’s Orchestral Works at No. 5, and Sarah Connolly and Joseph Middleton’s new album Come to Me in my Dreams at No. 25. Plus, Andre Rieu’s Amore has reentered the chart at No. 30.
