And the votes are in...

...for the Classic FM Top 100 Classics of All Time (Ten Years On). I wasn't a Classic FM listener when they did this ten years ago. I meant to vote this time but didn't get around to it.

Pleased to see so many other people voted for my favourites though.

If I had gotten around to voting, I would have voted for the Beethoven "Emperor" Concerto (which came in at No 2), Handel's Messiah, Vivaldi's Four Seasons and the Saint-Saens Organ Symphony (this one is familiar if you have seen the movie "Babe").

So here is the top 20:

• No.1 Beethoven Symphony No 9 in D minor, Op 125, “Choral” – Philharmonia Orch/Sir Charles Mackerras
