I have no strong feelings about the NY Times critics' list either way, except that they do a nice job, intentionally, no doubt, of balancing familiar music played by major stars and new music played by perhaps slightly lesser known performers.
I've had Perahia's English Suites on my iPod for many years. I never knew he hadn't recorded the French Suites. And Alexandre Tharaud has long been a favorite of mine in modern music, it might be interesting to hear him in the Rach 2nd.
I'm not familiar with the Satie work and would like to hear it, likewise the Ades, Norgard and Abrahamsen string quartets.
Your list may be different, but these are pretty arbitrary lists anyway.
