To accompany James's orchestral thread. Go ahead, make your lists.
Penderecki - Sextet
Penderecki - String Quartet No. 3 (and revision by the composer as String Quintet)
Shostakovich - most string quartets
Aaron Jay Kernis, Philip Glass - string quartets
Riley - Music for 18 Musicians
Golijov - The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind
Martinu - Nonet
EDIT: Edited to add the Martinu
DSCH...any of his that qualifies under the dating limit
Carter...String Quartets
Ligeti...pretty much anything he wrote
Penderecki...Sextet
Boulez Sur Incises
Sticking to traditional forms (i.e. no weird non-standard combos):
Penderecki: Sextet (hm, I see a trend)
Shostakovich: String Quartets 3-15 (another trend)
Lutoslawski: String Quartet (his one and only)
Rochberg: String Quartet #3
Schnittke: Piano Quintet
Martinu: Nonet
Carter: String Quartet #1 (probably the other quartets too)
Simpson: String Quartet #9 (the massive palindromic Haydn one)
Some not mentioned before:
Dutilleux: String Quartet Ainsi la nuit
Feldman: Crippled Symmetry, for flute, percussion and piano
Lutoslawski: Partita for violin & piano
Poulenc: Sonatas for cello & pf, flute & pf, clarinet & pf, and oboe & pf
Pärt: Fratres for violin & piano
Xenakis: Dikhthas for violin & piano, Tetras for string quartet
Schnittke: Piano Quintet
Bloch: string quartets 3,4,5
Vaughan Williams: String Quartet No. 2 'For Jean on her Birthday'
Vaughan Williams: Violin Sonata
er....that's it.
These are more 'favourites' perhaps although I think that the Schnittke would count as 'major'.
My contibutions will be piecemeal on this one. For starters:
Karlheinz Stockhausen: Kontra-Punkte
George Enescu: Symphonie de chambre, op. 33
More to come ;)

Riley Reich - Music for 18 Musicians
Fixed :)
Unless you meant Riley's
In C.
Perhaps the most important one?
Pierre Boulez: Le Marteau sans maître
Would like to add some string quartets:
Ferneyhough - 3rd SQ
Nono - Fragmente – Stille, An Diotima
Lachenmann - Gran Torso
Schnittke - 3rd SQ
'Objective' again
