    A spin-off of the Classical Music thread:
    What are your must have/must hear masterpieces of this era ?

    For The Fish, it's the big three:

    Bach
    • Brandenburg Concertos
    • Concerto for 2 Violins in D minor, BWV 1043
    • Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565
    Handel
    • Water Music & Music For the Royal Fireworks
    • Messiah
    • Concerto Grossi
    Vivaldi
    • Four Seasons
    • Gloria in D Major
    • Lute/Mandolin/Guitar Concerti
    I would also toss in Albinoni's Adagio - possibly the most depressing piece of music ever, but brilliant.

    Peace.
