Presto Chart,
The Presto Chart - January 2020
Stephen Hough’s superb accounts of Brahms’s late piano works on Hyperion (Gramophone’s Recording of the Month) is our best-selling album for January, closely followed by the third instalment of Martyn Brabbins’s cycle of the Vaughan Williams symphonies with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, with third place going to Sheku Kanneh-Mason for his recording of the Elgar Cello Concerto with Sir Simon Rattle and the London Symphony Orchestra on Decca.
