Mozart will forever be one of the very greatest and popular composer to walk the earth. An 18th century composer, of course.

Don Giovanni
Figaro
Magic Flute
Cosi
Idomeneo
Tito
Piano concerto 21
Piano concerto 20
Clarinet concerto
Symphony 40

I'm also glad to see Tito mentioned. One of my favorites and didn't make my list only because there are so many OTHER favorites.

 

[isorhythm]

isorhythm (or anyone who has an opinion): Who does a great Violin Sonata No 21? The version I heard by Chung and Kenner was just so-so.

Well, I first got into it by learning to play the piano part (very poorly). I have Mutter/Orkis, and also like Zukerman/Neikrug which is on Spotify. Both are solid. But I haven't done extensive comparisons.

Mozart's 10 "greatest" works

Its impossible to do.

You could do it for Bach or Beethoven.

 

[bharbeke]

I have discovered a lot more great works by Mozart since almost seven years ago. I will not attempt to make a list again, but I can clear up a dangling loose end from above. I found out that I love the Lupu/Goldberg recording of Violin Sonata No. 21.

There's this too:

Your single favourite Mozart masterpiece

 

[SanAntone]

None. I don't care enough about Mozart to have any favorites.

 

[PlaySalieri]

Yes it is tough - as the 6 big operas are so monumental - like if Beethoven wrote 6 symphonies as good as the 9th. Or verdi composed 6 Otellos - or stravinsky composed 6 rite of springs. With wagner he only did opera - so thats not too hard. I will think and have a go later. Kudos to those who have produced a top 10 and left it at that.

 

[Wolfgangus the Great]

Don Giovanni
Figaro
Idomeneo
Late Quartets
Late Quintets
Great Mass In C Minor

That's not a fair way to compare though. Think about https://www.talkclassical.com/72821-your-list-five-greatest-12.html#post2153893 "generally, (with some exceptions) the most highly-regarded composers of the Romantic period wrote in few genres: Berlioz, Wagner, Chopin, Bruckner, Mahler. But in certain cases, they did so due to their "philosophical ideas" in "bringing out their own individuality". I don't think it's insightful to judge them by the same standard as you would the 18th century composers. (eg. An 18th century composer who only wrote symphonies is NOT "equivalent" to Mahler.) The 18th century way to think of certain genres is not comparable with that of the later era."
