Other notable recordings which have moved up the chart include pianist Gabriela Montero's Bach and Beyond, which rose from 14th to second place; H_lne Grimaud's Reflection, which climbed from seventh to fifth; James Galway's My Magic Flute, which went from no. 10 to no. 7; and the late Lorraine Hunt Lieberson's recording of her husband's Rilke Songs, which re-entered the chart last week at no. 22 and has risen to no. 14.
Joshua Bell's Voice of the Violin, which entered the chart at no. 1, remains there for the third consecutive week. The deliberately soporific Bedtime Beats: The Secret to Sleep — whose top Amazon.com customer review is headlined "It works!" — slipped from second to third place.
No Boundaries by The 5 Browns continues its descent, falling from first to second to fourth to sixth place over the past four weeks.
Re-entering the classical chart are the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Choose Something Like a Star, at no. 18, and Opera Proibita, Cecilia Bartoli's disc of arias from late Baroque Italian oratorios, at no. 21.
We don't usually report on the Billboard classical midline chart (which covers discs with wholesale prices between $8.98 and $12.98), because the list tends to be dominated week after week by the "Baby Einstein" series, collections of wedding music and the occasional compilation of miscellaneous opera arias or "relaxation music." But there is a notable new entrant on the midline chart at no. 9: Anne-Sophie Mutter's set of the complete Mozart Violin Sonatas on DG. Re-entering the midline chart are pianist Gabriela Montero's debut recital disc on EMI (no. 6) and the Leonard Bernstein/New York Philharmonic recording of Copland's Appalachian Spring (no. 13).
