"A Dutch violinist has made pop history with the highest charting classical album this century.
Andre Rieu's collection of Strauss waltzes, Forever Vienna, rose two places to number two - one place behind Alicia Keys's The Element of Freedom."
The fact that a classical album has made it to number 2 in the charts has brightened my day to be honest. Classical is somewhat of a lost art, but it's nice to know that people still appreciate its values out there, what with the singles chart looking like it does at the moment. Hope for real music after all? Perhaps... Although Jedward seem hell-bent on destroying its cause. But hey, they'll be coke addicts living off the royalties of X-factor repeats in 6 months anyway, so what do I care?
