Updated through 6-6-17 ... First post, first page

Finally rated and ranked Ives 3rd Symphony, an evocative and lyrical masterpiece
Also re-rated and upgraded the ranking of Schnittke's 8th Symphony (which is now knocking right on the door to 8.8+) ... and re-rated Gerhard's Concerto for Orchestra and Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion & Celesta

Also, strongly considering a pretty big jump in rating for Schubert's Winterreise, but haven't followed through on it yet

Also I recently finally added a small handful of Mahler's greatest symphonies (long overdue!), though the ratings are quite tentative for now. His works tend to be so elaborate and emotionally/conceptually complex that they are among the more difficult ones in terms of feeling confident about their ratings.

Hi AfterHours, Perhaps you could reconsider the following classics that I did not find on your first post/list:

Rhapsody in Blue (Gershwin)
Pavane Pour Une Infante Défunte (Ravel): exquisite adagio
La Mer (Debussy) : a bit too modern for me, this one, but you may like it.
Carmina Burana (carl Orff)
