As much as I love all three works, I chose Petrouchka as well. I don't think this is a cruel poll at all. :)

I'm listening to this, although I wouldn't vote differently in other circumstances.

This was the least cruel poll ever. The only cruelty  involved is exposing to public scrutiny  those who do not pick the Rite!  >:D

Bravo! That's my favourite Stravinsky.

I continue to be impressed by your taste and refinement my simian friend!

Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

In a sense, this poll was easy.  I've got to choose Le sacre.

And it's not like the others are bad  8)

Symphony of Psalms.  Just because. 8)

(If you pressed me to name one of the three mentioned, I'd have to go with Le Sacre.)
