Presto Chart,
The Presto Chart - June 2024
Janine Jansen's 'top-drawer interpretations' of Sibelius's Violin Concerto and Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 2 with the Oslo Philharmonic and Klaus Mäkelä (released on Decca at the beginning of the month) proved our best-selling title of June, with other popular releases including Beethoven's Triple Concerto from a dream-team on Decca, Rachel Podger and Brecon Baroque's The Muses Restor'd (which topped the May chart), Czech songs from Magdalena Kožená, and the final instalment of Osmo Vänskä's Mahler cycle from Minnesota.
