Okay, we're at 66 picks and counting. Some are already itching for round 4 so let's go:
Sforzando's fourth round pick is listed as Monteverdi, Vespers, Bernius
and Bulldog Don's already champing at the bit for the WTC--gosh, I wonder which recording he'll choose...
I still think Sibelius and Mahler are woefully underrepresented and note there's not a single Bartok nor Debussy disc yet, so let the games resume!
