"Video games bring new generation to classical music". "Classic FM at 25: The sweet sound of success". John Suchet stated that he was "delighted that we've attracted so many votes for our chart" and that what he finds "truly exciting is the continued increase in a younger audience for classical music - I didn't expect to be thanking the video game industry for introducing the genre to a new generation of people, but it's wonderful." References This led to more than 200,000 votes being cast, the highest in the chart's history. Several video game soundtracks were voted into the 2013 Hall of Fame, with the highest being Nobuo Uematsu's music for Final Fantasy at number three. Ģ013 provided the most controversial Hall of Fame to date as a result of an organised voting campaign concerning video game soundtracks by UK based games promoter Mark Robins. Only five different pieces have ever held the number one position. The pieces that make up the top ten have changed very little since the chart began. The Hall of Fame reflects voter preferences, rather than public purchases of recordings, so there has been a lack of variation at the top of the chart. Ralph Vaughan Williams – Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis Ralph Vaughan Williams – The Lark Ascending Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – Clarinet Concerto Ludwig van Beethoven – Piano Concerto No.
The current top twenty was revealed on 10 April 2023: In 2015, 12 pieces of music from video game soundtracks were voted into Classic FM's top 300 chart. And, for the first time in 2012, the chart featured two original works from video game soundtracks.
Movie soundtracks by John Williams, John Barry and Ennio Morricone are also regular features of the chart. Pieces by composers such as Elgar and Beethoven feature alongside works by contemporary composers such as Karl Jenkins and Ludovico Einaudi. The compilation is notable for featuring a wide variety of classical works. The countdown, first broadcast in 1996, airs over the four-day Easter holiday weekend. With more than 200,000 voters, each choosing their three favourites in order of preference, Classic FM claim their Hall of Fame is the world's most comprehensive poll of classical music tastes.
The Classic FM Hall of Fame is an annual compilation of the most popular 300 classical works as polled by listeners of Classic FM through a public vote.
