Related: About this forumThe greatest composer EVER is....
J.S. Bach.
You're welcome.
I now command this group to take one year of sabbatical from posting anything in the group to celebrate the awesomeness of Bach.
We'll meet back here one year from today to get back to work.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH PEOPLE!!! THAT'S A WRAP!!!!

My top 3 - Mahler, Shostakovich, too many to mention following that!

Shostakovich is just the third pressing of Mahler.
