Music: As good as it gets

Anthony Tommasini at the New York Times has a silly but entertaining project: to name the 10 greatest classical composers in history. He has  videos in which he discusses the likely nominees; seated at the piano, he shares personal and technical insights into (so far) Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert. Essays discuss their contributions. Readers are invited to nominate their own lists, and hundreds are chiming in.
