VA - Classic 100 Concerto (2007) [8CD Box Set]

What is the one concerto you cannot live without? This question was asked of the Australian public through a poll by ABC Classic FM and the result is this collection - the Classic 100 Concerto. Over nine hours of music on 8CDs, this definitive set includes legendary performances by some of the greatest Australian and international artists ever captured on vinyl, as well as new releases never before available on CD.

During 2007, the Australian radio station ABC Classic FM held a Classic 100 Concerto countdown.

The works in the countdown were selected by votes cast by listeners to the station.

The broadcasting of the results of the countdown began on 27 October 2007 and concluded on 31 October 2007. The concert featuring the final five works was broadcast live from the Hamer Hall in Melbourne, and featured the Australian Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra.
