Classic Drive

Genevieve Lang stuck around after presenting Lunchtime Concert on ABC Classic to join Vanessa Hughes on Classic Drive to share just some of the music that has made her ballot in the Classic 100: Feel Good.

There was of course some harp moments, but Genevieve came with everything from stunning choral harmonies, through to orchestral bliss. Hear all of Genevieve's choices and a few sneaky ones from Vanessa too.

And get your votes in the Classic 100: Feel Good.Loading...
