Scores to video games have pushed Mozart and Beethoven out of the top 5 of the 2013 Classic FM Hall of Fame, while Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 holds firm at no. 1.
The Classic FM Hall of Fame 2013 has been topped, for the third year in a row, by Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2. The top 5 and the chart in general is notable for the significant presence of video games scores - video game soundtracks hold the no. 3 and no. 5 spots on the chart, pushing Beethoven out of the top 5.
Nobuo Uematsu's music from the Final Fantasy series of video games placed at no. 3 in the chart, while Jeremy Soule's soundtrack to The Elder Scrolls propped up the top 5. The second and fourth spots in the chart were held by Hall of Fame regular Ralph Vaughan Williams, with The Lark Ascending at no. 2 and the Fantasia on a theme of Thomas Tallis at no. 4.
