Half of Apple Music Classical’s Top 10 is new this week, although #1 remains Ryuichi Sakamoto’s “Opus” for the fourth week in a row. Augustin Hadelich’s “American Road Trip,” last week’s #2, plunges out of the Top 10 and is replaced at #2 by the Danish String Quartet’s intriguing “Keel Road.” Elsewhere, the supergroup of Joshua Bell, Steven Isserlis, and Jeremey Denk debuts at #4 with their album of Mendelssohn Trios, and RZA’s surprising “A Ballet Through Mud” attracted enough curiosity-seekers to reach #8.
