You're a hard man, Bulldog!
the Talk Classical Community's Favorite and Most Highly Recommend Works
Here is a prioritized list of classical music (inclusively defined) recommendations put together by members of the Talk Classical discussion forum and the (now defunct) Amazon.com classical music discussion forum.
Naturally, these recommendations represent the knowledge and tastes of the people who have helped build it. We do not claim that it is the official canon of art music, or that it is anything like an objective ranking of the greatness of each work!
However, to the best of our knowledge, nothing else like this exists -- no other list of prioritized recommendations including all genres of classical music, no other list as helpful to an old veteran looking for a surprise as to a newbie just familiarizing herself with the canon.
You can also view the list as an unranked, alphabetical list (though it may not be up-to-date). You can also see some simple statistical information here.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Our project is ongoing, and we'd be very happy for you to add your own voice!
You can change our list in three ways:
1. The main way is to participate in the threads with titles like, "The first tier," "The second tier," and so on. You can find them in the polls sub-forum. Usually we have several going on at a time, but in order to avoid confusion, please don't bump the threads that have timed out!
2. The second way is to add new works to the list. If you want to recommend a work that is not already on our list, just post it in this thread. You can add up to 5 new works per day. All newly added works begin on the lowest tier, but they can move up from there.
One final way that you can contribute is simply by letting me know if you see errors in the list, such as incorrect dates, misspellings, and so on. You can do that in this thread, or if you prefer you can PM me.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
People might disagree with your votes, and you might disagree with theirs, but please be patient and persistent. Your participation will make our list better. We value everyone's participation.
If you are disappointed that a work you champion is not getting more community support, feel free to advocate for it, telling us why we should support it. Advocacy for a work will always be both more welcome and more productive than advocacy against a work.
Please be polite. Obviously we have different tastes and we don't all know the same things; we do not all agree about how strongly various works should be recommended, how great or important they are, or anything else.
The point is to learn from each other and help each other, to have a good time exploring music together.
Special thanks to Trout, who has maintained this list for years and years, and did a heck of a lot of work compiling recording recommendations, and to mmsbls, who has agreed to edit the posts in our thread when needed.
And thanks to all the people who have contributed in various ways to this project over the years! I personally have learned a lot from it, and I'm sure others have as well. I hope this will be helpful to people for many years to come, and I hope we continue to refine it as we all learn more about this amazing tradition.

To move down 1 to the 54th tier:
Scarlatti, D.: Keyboard Sonata in E, K. 380 "Cortège" [18th cent.]
In about a week we'll start a new cycle on the 2nd tier, and a few days after that we'll do the third tier. Maybe we'll do those two on the main board just for fun. Get some controversy going. But even if we do that, we'll do the fourth and lower tiers on the polls sub-forum.
Frumerie: Symphonic Variations on Vårvindar friska, op. 25 [1940-41]
If there's a significantly higher response than usual to the 2nd and 3rd tiers on the main board - and I suspect there will - I'd say keep going with the highest tiers, at least if you're doing them as polls. As for the other tiers, I can see why the whole process of allocating points is off-putting to many, but I think you and everyone else who's put so much work into the project over the years have earned the right to post it all on the main board.In about a week we'll start a new cycle on the 2nd tier, and a few days after that we'll do the third tier.

A great website but it needs the feature to grab the works by each composer, otherwise your link is functionally more preferable.I can't edit the OP anymore, but I wish I'd included a link to this website: The Talk Classical Community's Favorite and Most Highly Recommended Works. A lot of people will like the look of that much better than the look of the Google doc!
The best thing about that site is the "music selector," but the "stats" page is lovely too.A great website but it needs the feature to grab the works by each composer, otherwise your link is functionally more preferable.
