For some reason this poll needed to happen. I'm not sure why.

Very easy choice for me: Mendelssohn.

the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

I think I have only heard a fairly small fraction of either set, so I abstain.

Grieg without a doubt for me. Some of the simplest gems there are - rare things that seem spotlessly polished and totally effortless at the same time.

Fits Mendelssohn perfectly.

I like both but voted Mendelssohn because it gets more listening time with me.
Cheers
