The cello won ABC Classic FM's Hottest 100 for Australia's favourite instrument this year.

To celebrate, Screen Sounds has put on an excellent program full of cello music from film and tellie https://www.abc.net.au/classic/programs/screen-sounds/screen-sounds-the-cello-on-film/102440682 It's well worth a listen.

I was thinking that myself.
Also, they linked in with ABC Jazz, but I didn't hear much that would appeal to serious jazz fans. Just 'pop jazz' as well.

Number 1 put down for a bad cellist
"My dear you have between your legs something that can bring great pleasure, and all you can do is scratch it!
Forget who said it. A conductor I think.

We knew. Cello. Now give Yo Yo Ma a rest please?
#Classic100

Another piece I used to play - my Mum loved it when I played Scott Joplin! Yes, it’s hackneyed, but fun. #Classic100

I think it is rigged. The next 100 will be favourite tunes by this number 1 and we have already had a classic 100 piano.
Next year classic 100 Cello? #Classic100

What, piano #2!
I am worried about this process.
#Classic100

OK so if Cello is number 2 I want something played by Sol Gabetta

Well played I love that pure sound. But yes string quartet is great.

Rory cat went outside as soon as violin started. Not fond of 'cat gut' strings perhaps

@vwdasher
Has the triangle already been listed? If so yes spoons for number 1. 😂
#classic100

#Violin number 3. Bit of a surprise at 3. So the consensus Mastodonians is #cello and #piano for 2 and 1?
#Classic100

@mativity
Yeah, but ABC Classic have been lobbying for the oud lately. And there are a lot of Australians with west asian heritage.

Ono! It’s oboe! I have one, but can’t play. Here’s Morricone! The household joke is I’m pursued by oboes. They are relentless! (I still like them, but I think I’m destined not to learn.) #Classic100.

Nailed it. The oboe. Next three in order viola ( if it hasn't already been) violin and piano.
#Classic100

Was it the oboe in the soundtrack to The Mission? That must still come up?
#Classic100

Interesting how people seem to be voting for instruments on the basis of how they feature in favourite pieces of music?
Or memories of playing it themselves?
#Classic100

How is #clarinet number #5 Ok, Gershwin, Mozart, and yes, my Granpa played Benny Goodman and Klezmer music, but apart from that…. #Classic100

Girl grom Ipanema? Feels like I am riding an elevator! 😂😂#Classic100

What is left?
Piano, violin, oboe, viola, orchestra?
