RachmaninoffFor their latest countdown, ABC Classic FM asked listeners to vote for their favourite concerto.  With the results streaming in over a number of months, an eventual list of the top 100 concertos was compiled.

The top 5 Concertos, as voted by Australian music lovers, were performed at a Gala Concert on 31st October 2007, in front of a near-capacity Hamer Hall in Melbourne, and broadcast nationally live-to-air on ABC Classic FM.

Rachmaninoff’s beatiful Piano Concerto No.2 in C minor came in as Australia 2nd favourite concerto, of which the 1st movement was performed by Amir Farid.
