Who compiled this list? It’s missing a few obvious choices… and two Berlioz, but no Brahms? And no Stravinsky or Shostakovitch? And why Nutcracker and not Swan Lake? And why, of all of Bach’s great output, choose puny little BWV 8? Surely the B-minor Mass, or St Matthew Passion?
See? That’s the trouble with lists… 😉
[this is good]
This is a great list …and reminds me of my Mom’s classical collection that she used to BUMP!!!
