  • Swan Lake Takes out the Classic 100: Dance Countdown
    10 JUNE 2018 – EMBARGOED UNTIL 19:01 AEST-- Swan Lake takes out the Classic 100: Dance Countdown Swan Lake has been named Australia’s favourite classical dance music in ABC Classic FM’s Classic 100 Countdown. Australia’s favourite classical music event has celebrated the brilliant diversity, vivid colour and irresistible impulse of dance, by counting down the music that makes its audiences move. Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, one of the world’s most beloved ballets, tells the story of Odette, a princess transformed into a swan by the curse of an evil sorcerer. Australia’s passionate community of music lovers voted in their thousands in the annual campaign by ABC Classic FM, our only national classical music station. Nearly 2000 works were reduced by public voting to the final 100 broadcast this weekend. More than 50% of the performers featured in this flagship event are Australian, exemplifying the ABC’s crucial role in nurturing local talent. ABC Classic FM is dedicated to investing in high-quality and distinctive Australian music and performance, free for all Australians. ABC Classic FM has collaborated with The Australian Ballet to produce three films specifically for the Countdown. Emerging choreographers Alice Topp, Richard House and Ella Havelka created striking new responses to the top three featured works: Swan Lake, The Nutcracker Suite, and Romeo and Juliet. Why Dance, a 3 x 20 minute feature series from the ABC’s Dr Ann Jones, has launched on air on ABC Classic FM, online and on the ABC listen app to mark this year’s theme. In association with The Australian Ballet, Sydney Dance Company and Bangarra Dance Theatre, Ann explores female choreographers in the male- dominated world of ballet, the importance of dance in Indigenous culture, and the healing role of dance in the lives of some everyday Australians.

  • The Pearl Fishers Duet Takes out the Classic 100: Love Countdown
    11 JUNE 2017 – EMBARGOED UNTIL 19:01 AEST-- The Pearl Fishers Duet takes out the Classic 100: Love Countdown George Bizet’s Pearl Fishers Duet (Au Fond du Temple Saint) has been named Australia’s favourite music of love in ABC Classic FM’s Classic 100 Countdown. This weekend, Australia’s favourite classical music event has celebrated the greatest of human experiences by counting down audiences’ top 100 works of passion and heartbreak. George Bizet’s duet from opera The Pearl Fishers, written when he was just 25, centres on two characters caught in a love triangle who pledge to honour their friendship above their devotion to the same woman. Nearly 1900 initial audience nominations were reduced by public voting to the final 100 works. The Countdown reflected audience preference for works from the 20th Century above all others, while Giacomo Puccini emerged as the most prolific composer on the Countdown, with eight works. Five Australian composers, three of whom are contemporary female artists, made the top 100. “There’s something profoundly moving about these two male voices singing together, and The Pearl Fishers Duet has always resonated with our listeners,” said Richard Buckham, ABC Classic FM’s Content Manager. “From the moment we announced the Love: Music of Passion and Heartbreak theme, the audience debate kicked off on social media about what the top works were going to be. It’s wonderful that their choices have culminated in such a rich and diverse weekend of music.” ABC Classic FM hosts Alice Keath, Russell Torrance, Greta Bradman, Christopher Lawrence, Tamara- Anna Cislowska and Mairi Nicolson dedicated the weekend to the highs and lows of love with an array of special guests including: tenor David Hobson, conductor Benjamin Northey, lyric baritone Anthony Warlow, musical innovator Erin Helyard and soprano and cellist Taryn Fiebig.
