Dads Love Classics 2 - Various Artists (CD 3 TO 4 DISC SET)

Almost a decade after the phenomenal success of the first Dads Love Classicscollection, ABC Classics presents the much-anticipated sequel: over 5 hours of stirring music on 4CDs. Bold favourites by Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Gershwin, Elgar, Beethoven, Mahler, Mozart and more rub shoulders with fresh discoveries, creating an indispensable and completely new compendium of the great classical tunes. From grand symphonies to virtuosic concertos, this is a turbo-charged ride through the classical music no Dad can resist. Released for Father’s Day in 2017, this collection is inspired in particular by listeners to ABC Radio Brisbane and their Mornings presenter Steve Austin, whose enthusiasm for the first Dads Love Classics album brought classical music to the cars, sheds and homes of Queensland, and made it a best-selling album ten years after its first release.   Tracks include: COPLAND Fanfare for the Common Man FALLA Ritual Fire Dance MUSSORGSKY Night on Bald Mountain R.
