Oh man, no Janacek pieces got a vote? That's brutal. This was his decade, too bad there were so many other luminaries around at the same time.If anyone hasn't heard these Janacek pieces by any chance please give them a listen. All of them.

They're all wonderful, but I have a soft spot for the string quartets, especially as played by the Pražák Quartet.

i yield to no one in my love for sibelius' incidental music. Sure the tempest is the coup de grace but swanwhite, pelleas, king christian and jedermann are just as dear to me. I love that there's this other less rigorously self-critical side to him which is just all wonderful hooks and fairy wishes
