| Planets doesn't qualify as a symphony, I guess.
I have to agree with Glenn about such ratings.
Mathis der Maler is #1 on my list, not because it is the "greatest," but because every atom in my soul resonated with every hearing of it, right from the very first note the very first time. (Subjective opinions from Vulganos, however, are very subjective.)
Perhaps a more practical and useful list to post would be to rank the masterworks by programming -- what piece gets played the most? What shows up on the most auditions?
