This week's Specialist Classical Chart is now online. Based on sales of CDs and downloads in the UK, and compiled by the Official Charts Company, the weekly top 20 offers an overview of what the public thinks of the most recent classical releases.

There's just one new entry this week, for the London Symphony Orchestra and Valery Gergiev with a disc of Debussy – La Mer, Jeux and Prélude à l après-midi d'un faune.

Other than that a few familiar recordings return to the chart as re-entries – Danielle De Niese's "The Beauty of Baroque", Barenboim's Chopin Concertos, and Martha Argerich and Friends from Lugano. Guitarist Miloš – now marking 15 weeks in the charts – remains in the top slot.

To see the full chart – and to download a poster (which shops are welcome to use for display purposes) – click: Specialist Classical Chart. You can also read reviews of a number of the featured recordings.
