Classic ABC TV & Radio Themes / Various

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
Take a trip down memory lane with this double album of classic ABC TV and radio themes. Fifty of Australia's favourite theme tunes from the 1940s to the 2000s: from iconic 1940s radio programs like Blue Hills and The Country Hour - shows that brought the nation together - to cutting edge news and current affairs with Four Corners. Lateline. Foreign Correspondent and the 7.30 Report; from the powerful TV drama of The Onedin Line and Silent Witness to comedy favourites The Vicar of Dibley and Monty Python's Flying Circus: the music captures the heart and soul of the show. This collection allows us not only to revisit the pleasures of the past. but also to admire the artistry and skill of the composers who create them: in just a few brief moments. a theme tune has to catch and keep the listener's attention. put us in the right mood. fix itself in our memories. and. above all. be a pleasure to hear - all this. often in as little as 30 seconds! Composers like Bruce Smeaton. George Dreyfus and Rick Turk deserve to be celebrated. and ABC Classics is proud to give them this opportunity to step into the spotlight. There is also music by more familiar composers - Beethoven. Vivaldi. Schubert and Strauss. to name just a few: their music already has a rich life in the concert hall. but there is a special magic in choosing just the right piece for the right show. This album features a selection of theme tunes from the classical music world. in their original full-length versions. Dip in for your favourites. or enjoy the full journey through 60 years of ABC programs. These classic TV and radio themes have become a part of our lives. and this fascinating collection is sure to captivate and delight.
