One of these days I was writing someone I listen half classical, half "progressive" and half for the rest.
So, I should read this, if not write a post or two. Just in the two first pages there is a lot I never heard of. Imagine in the whole 65.
About the designation, yes, sometimes it may get messy to have two uses of "classical".
In my corner of Europe some of us use "Música erudita" (erudite music) instead of "classical in the broader sense. Leaving "classical" for the period.
Anyway, human classification systems are arbitrary by nature and designations too.
Of musical periods there are as many systems as people who thought about the subject (hyperbole).
Oh! And THIS classical music we are talking about is very likely the "western" classical music.
In places such as India, Japan, China, there may be other classical musics.
I'm actually building a sort of musical repository which includes, of course, a classical board. On a forum.
The thing is still in a very early phase and probably will always be so.
Nevertheless I managed to nearly complete a few of the usual classical "heavy weights".
Forum is actually about a strategy game but the game programmer likes some of "my" music so, no collisions.
Can be seen here:
(scroll down until "Concert Hall" shows up, click it and then The T. B. Experience)

Visitors can view without registering.
Most of it are the most famous "heavy weights". Has some "experimental" ancient Greek and Roman.
Plus a baroque fellow I specially fancy goes by the name Biber (not affiliated with Bieber). And Corelli, perhaps a bit less famous than Vivaldi.
There's a Pt composer on the late romantic division: Vianna da Motta.
And three Pt composers on the modern board; last name there is Silvestrov from Ukraine. Usually quiet music.
A curiosity in this last board is Joly Braga Santos's 4th Symphony with its choral 4th movement like in Beethoven's 9th...
PS: just remembered the World (music) board contains some music that may be considered "classical".
Cases of "Movimento Armorial" in Brasil board. And "Krless"'s medieval songs in Czechia board. Or Piazzola in Argentina board.
Some cases in the Soundtracks board also may qualify as classical.
