Australian Composers
Tall Poppies presents the work of Australian composers. Single-composer chamber music collections include music spanning a number of years. The composer is always involved in the preparation of the CD, from the choice of repertoire and artists to participation in recording, editing and presentation. Composers recorded include Peter Sculthorpe, Ross Edwards, Nigel Westlake, Carl Vine, David Stanhope, Andrew Ford, Andrew Schultz, Anne Boyd, Nigel Butterley, Tristram Cary, Elena Kats-Chernin, Anne Ghandar, Graeme Koehne, Martin Wesley-Smith and Bruce Cale.
Performer-based multi-composer collections present performers or ensembles, highlighting the performers' involvement with Australian music. Frequently the recorded works have been commissioned and premiered by the performer. Sometimes they are the result of one performing group presenting many composers' work on a single theme.

Famous quotes containing the words australian and/or composers:
“The Australian mind, I can state with authority, is easily boggled.”
—Charles Osborne (b. 1927)
“More significant than the fact that poets write abstrusely, painters paint abstractly, and composers compose unintelligible music is that people should admire what they cannot understand; indeed, admire that which has no meaning or principle.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
