2023 was a coronation year, and the chart shows it — the official album of The Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla sits high among the bestsellers. Around it, classical crossover dominates: Einaudi's Islands, Bocelli's Vivere, André Rieu and a clutch of 'One Voice' choral records. Film and orchestral scores had a strong year too, from the Studio Ghibli Symphonic Celebration to the Bernstein music of Maestro. Yet the masterworks run deep: Handel's Messiah, Monteverdi's Vespers, Puccini's Turandot, the complete symphonies of Mahler and Beethoven, and Górecki's Symphony No. 3 all chart. From a royal occasion to the Renaissance polyphony of the Tallis Scholars, 2023 spanned the whole tradition.
