A recording of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 10 — the first release by the Berlin Philharmonic with their newest conductor, Sir Simon Rattle — debuts on the Billboard Top Classical chart this week at #11.

The release by the Berlin Philharmonic is the only new addition to this week's classical top 10.

The symphony, which has existed in sketch form since Mahler's death, was pieced together by English scholar Deryck Cooke and first performed in 1964. Rattle initially recorded Mahler's 10th in 1980 with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and has championed the work ever since.

This concert was Rattles' first public performance with the Berlin Philharmonic since being named their music director designate. Rattle had previously been music director for the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in Birmingham, England.

Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli continues his hold on the #1 position with Sacred Arias. Right behind Bocelli, and still at #2, is the Appalachian Journey album by Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer and Mark O'Connor, while the soundtrack to "Fantasia 2000" retains the third position. The latter disc features the music of Respighi, Gershwin and Stravinsky.

The tenor trio of Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti spring back into the classical charts at # 15 with their release, Three Tenors: Paris 1998. Philip Glass' Symphony #3, last week's big entry to the chart, slips two notches to the #13 position.

Making up the top 10 are: Andrea Bocelli, Sacred Arias, at #1; Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer and Mark O'Connor, Appalachian Journey, at #2; Fantasia 2000 at #3; John Williams, Classic Williams, at #4; Kronos Quartet, Caravan, at #5; Andre Rieu, 100 Years of Strauss, at #6; A Garland for Linda at #7; San Francisco Symphony, Copland the Populist, at #8; ; The Most Relaxing Classical Album in the World at #9; and Harmony settling in at #10.
