Sorry, but any mahler symphonies after the fourth were written after 1900. So my list is: (in no particular order) 1. Brahms German Requiem 2. Liszt Fantasia and Fugue on B-A-C-H 3. Mahler#2 4. Mahler#3 5. Beethoven#5 6. Beethoven#9 7. Bach The Art of Fugue 8. Sibelius#2 9. Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto 10.Wagner Tristan und Isolde You should try some of the newer stuff though too (after 1900) Shostakovich, Stravinsky, Strauss, Hindemith, Bartok, Corigliano, Rouse, Tomasi, Copland, Harris, Lutoslawski, Schoenberg (Gurrelieder-trust me, most people balk at Schoenberg but this is great) Berg, Ewazen, Adams, Vaughn-Williams, I could go on for hours........... I guess I've been lurking for a while, but you finally hit me on a topic I really know.

I had a premonition that Berg would show up on your 20th century list. LOL!
Glad you jumped in the pool...
