Sting Debut Hits Top Spot
Sting debuted at the top of the UK Classical Album charts this week with "Songs Of The Labyinth", an album of Elizabethan lute music.
The album, which brings 16th Century composer John Dowlands music to a mainstream audience, also entered the UK pop charts at No. 24.Sting is joined on this recording by much-admired lutenist Edin Karamazov, in what he describes as “a soundtrack to Dowland’s life in words and music”. "Songs from the Labyrinth" is released on Deutsche Grammophon, the world’s most celebrated classical music record label.
