Now, it's my turn ;-) These are ten GREAT works composed after 1962:
Adams: Nixon in China (+ Violin Concerto, Chairman Dances...)
Arnold: Seventh Symphony (+ many chamber and orchestral works...)
Dutilleux: Metaboles (+ Cello Concerto)
Kancheli: Sixth Symphony (+ Simi)
Ligeti: Horn Trio (+Etudes for piano, Viola Sonata, Piano Concerto...)
Lutoslawski: Third Symphony (Cello Concerto, Livre for orchestra...)
Penderecki: St Luke's Passion (+ Clarinet Concerto)
Schnittke: Second String Quartet (+ Requiem)
Shostakovich: Symphony no 14 (+ last string quartets...)
Simpson: Fifth Symphony (+ Ninth Symphony)
And I should perhaps add Boulez's Repons and "Dialogue de l'ombre double" ;-)
