For the second year running, Víkingur Ólafsson tops the annual Presto Chart, this time around with his mesmerising programme of music by Mozart and his contemporaries Galuppi, Cimarosa, Haydn and CPE Bach. (The Icelandic pianist's Bach album from 2018 also made a reappearance at No. 7, whilst last year's best-selling recital of Rameau and Debussy sits at No. 22).
Other featured artists in the Top 10 include John Wilson and Sinfonia of London, Sean Shibe, Paul Lewis and Steven Osborne, and (in both of his capacities) Sir Antonio Pappano.
