| | | | | The Classic 100 is always full of surprises.
As we celebrate 20 years of the countdown, we asked you to tell us your favourite music that has never made a Classic 100 Countdown.
From music that was written since the first countdown, to the deserving music of lesser-known composers, and some lesser-known works of famous composers, you put together a brilliant list of music to explore.
"Winter Mornings Walks by Maria Schneider sung by Dawn Upshaw is my ABSOLUTE favourite and definitely the piece I can't live without." — Jen
"Max Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1 is so well known but to me his second and third violin concertos are just as good, if not better!" — Melanie
"I've just found a new piece to vote for! The Vitali Chaconne is a gift!" — Marilyn
"Florence Price deserves a spot in the Classic 100. Her Symphony No. 1 in E minor is beautiful." — Glenford
"Peter Sculthorpe's Earth Cry is the heartbeat of our land. How could anyone live without it!"— Betty
If you want to see your favourites in the top 100, make sure you vote before 9am on Monday 7 June. | | | | | | |
