What’s the music you can’t live without?
The Classic 100, Australia’s favourite classical music countdown, asked Australia the big question this year, with the results announced live on air on ABC Classic over the June long weekend.

Spanning the whole spectrum of classical music – from grand symphonies and brilliant concertos to intimate chamber music and piano gems, plus passionate opera, transcendent sacred music and thrilling film scores – this is a must-have collection.
