My favourite early and baroque music is often necessarily sacred, like the Monteverdi oratorios, cantatas by Buxtehude, Schütz, Bach, the St. Matthews passion, but also the great Mozart et al requiem, but later there are more large secular works like the Beethoven, Brahms and Bruckner (5+8!!!) Symphonies. I also love much early 20th century music (see avatar).
I was thinking we need a "classical" music thread. There might be three or five or ten who would participate.
I don't run across many who would put Heinrich Schütz on list of music they like! Not for lack of quality, as he was a master. Perhaps a bit obscure, but not I suppose if you are into pre-Baroque stuff. I like me some Schütz as well.
Def prefer Bruckner over Mahler, particularly his 8th and unfinished 9th.
