... the BPI reports sales of classical CDs were up by 10.2% in 2018, and streaming of classical works up by some 42%.
But as Richd: Morrison notes today, "Very few of the 30 bestselling classical albums were of symphonies, concertos or sonatas. In fact, seven were film soundtracks and the rest largely celebrity performers going through their party pieces. Of the latter group, an album called Si by the Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli accounted, incredibly, for a tenth of all classical sales, with Katherine Jenkins, André Rieu, Ludovico Einaudi and the dynamic duo of Aled Jones and Russell Watson also featuring in the Top Ten. With due respect to these charismatic legends, all are more famous for advancing their careers than advancing their art forms."
