Current Top 10 Most-Played Works

Will it sound too shallow if I put some works by old Beethoven in this list?

Of course not! It's your list, not mine.

Current Top 10 Most-Played Works (in no particular order):

1. Wagner: Das Rheingold (I've heard it twice so far)
2. Lindberg: Graffiti
3. Sibelius: Symphony No. 6
4. Berg: Lulu-Suite
5. Ravel: L'Enfant et les sortileges
6. Langgaard: Antikrist (I've already it twice since I bought it)
7. Nielsen: Rhapsody Overture - An Imaginary Journey to the Faroe Islands
8. Schoenberg: Variations for Orchestra
9. Debussy: Sonata for Flute, Viola, and Harp
10. Koechlin: Le buisson ardent

Looking at my listening log for June so far, I've listened to only seven works more than once:
1. Blumenfeld: Etude for the piano, left hand (3 times)
T2. Lutoslawski: Concerto for Orchestra;
Beethoven: Piano Sonata No 31;
Olsen: Asgaardsreien;
Chopin: Mazurka No 17 in B flat minor 24/4;
Beethoven: Symphony No 5;
Sibelius: Symphony No 3
(twice each)

That's really unusual parity for me. At least, I think I've been made fun of here in the past for my "enthusiastic" fixations with pieces. Now I can't even fill out a top 10!

7. Nielsen: Rhapsody Overture - An Imaginary Journey to the Faroe Islands

What a cool piece that is, by the way.

Lutoslawski: Concerto for Orchestra

This is a cool piece too! I love it. Very much in debt to Bartok, but Lutoslawski did his own thing with it.

Yes, it hasn't been recorded much either. I think only twice: Chung (BIS) and Dausgaard (Dacapo).

Yup, a great work.

For me Bach's Cantata bwv 21, I've heard the whole thing twice (Leusink), the sinfonia four times (since I had to listen to the Koopman youtube link and the Herreweghe on youtube), and parts of it as well (Herreweghe on youtube) and I look forward to hearing the whole thing again when the Herreweghe cd arrives.
