About

Classic FM first hit the airwaves with the stirring harmonies of Zadok the Priest at 6am on 7the September 1992, and the station has gone on to change the way people in the UK listen to classical music, opening up the genre to millions who had never considered themselves to be classical music fans. It is now the biggest commercial radio station in the land, and the largest classical music radio station in the world.

‘Made Famous By Classic FM’ is a unique 2CD celebration of music that has become intrinsic to the fabric of the station – 24 pieces that have come to prominence, with help from the station, whether breaking new classical artists or contemporary composers, or simply the tracks that have either become listener or presenter favourites down the years.

The album includes Vaughan Williams – The Lark Ascending (Nicola Benedetti), Handel – Zadok the Priest, Brunning – Pie Jesu (All Angels), Armstrong – Balcony Scene from Romeo and Juliet, Hawes – Quanta Qualia (Janet Coxwell) and Piazzolla – Libertango.
