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 565Handel Water Music & Music For the Royal Fireworks
Messiah
Concerto GrossiVivaldi Four Seasons
Gloria in D Major
Lute/Mandolin/Guitar ConcertiI would also toss in Albinoni's Adagio - possibly the most depressing piece of music ever, but brilliant.

Peace.
