We're splitting the 5-point tier of the Talk Classical community's favorite and most highly recommended works: about half of these works will move up to the new 6-point tier, and a select few that get the most votes up an extra tier.
Each participant gets up to 25 votes. You don't have to put them all in a single post. Please put them in groups of 5 so I can confirm that I'm not skipping any of your votes!
Voting on this thread will be open 48 hours.
I will tally the votes on this Google sheet. Note the tabs on the bottom left of the screen labeled "Part 1," "Part 2," and "Part 3."
