Basically, with a few eccentric choices making it through to the final round,, this is an exercise in replicating any number of already extant lists from other classical sites and classical online zines and journals.

Yep, and the outcome is puzzling to say the least;  Bach solo violin partitas are at the top but the cello suites dont even exist !
And even if I am not representative of the GMG Mahler mania, Das Lied.. deserves a better treatment at least in this forum.
