    For more than 20 years, the Classic 100 has been one of the most anticipated events on the Australian classical music calendar: a chance for music-lovers across the country to nominate the music that means the most to them. This year’s theme is the piano: from solo gems all the way to concertos with a full orchestra, from music fallen in love with during piano lessons to virtuoso concert showpieces, this is a celebration of all the sounds and colours of one of Australia’s favourite instruments. The top 100 will be announced on an on-air countdown on ABC Classic over the June long weekend, and this 4CD collection of highlights will follow in July.
