Here, DigitalDreamDoor offers its opinion of the 100 greatest classical music works of all time. Agree? Disagree? Let us know. I personally would have liked to see "Duo des Fleurs" de Léo Délibes - Lakmé on this list, but I'm happy that "The Planets" by Holst was in the top 30.

1. Symphony No. 9 "Choral" – Ludwig Van Beethoven

2. Mass In B Minor – Johann Sebastian Bach

3. Symphony No. 6 "Pathetique" – Peter Ilitch Tchaikovsky

    Sym. 6 and 41 are too high. Mahler is just right, but Ring of the Nibelungs should probably beat out Rite of Spring. Sym. 3 is too high and Sym. 5 should be still higher. GREAT List, though, if not incomplete.
