There is no finer pastime than bickering about charts and top-ten listings. Pop music fans have the Top 2000, classical connoisseurs choose their Top 400 from NPO Classical. The votes are counted and anxiously everyone looks forward to the No. 1, the notable risers and the newcomers. The Radio Philharmonic Orchestra plays a generous selection from this wonderfully colorful musical mosaic.

The Classical Top 400 list provides endless fodder for discussion. In 2023, Bach's indestructible St. Matthew Passion stood proudly at the top, closely followed by Mozart's Requiem. Will Bach and Mozart keep their place, or will there be shifts at the top? Not only baroque, classical and romantic music reign supreme in the Top 400. In recent years, there has been more and more room for contemporary music and popular film scores.

From the vast panorama of the Classical Top 400, the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Harry Ogg make a lively selection. The concert evening unfolds as one big feast of recognition and discovery: from classical hit music that you would love to hear live, to surprising list breakers and symphonic surprises.
