It's a hard question, who can forget Mozart, Beethoven, Johan Sebastian Bach, etc, but I always had a weakness for the members of The Might7y Handfull (Cui, Boorodin, Roimski Korsakov, Mussorgski and Balakirev) as well as the Russian Nationalist movement of the late Romatic/Modern Classical era.

They had the b*lls to break with Europe and create the music they wanted without caring for anything except for art, IMO they are the real predecessors of Progressive Rock.

While Johan Strauss Jr. (The 19th Century Glenn Miller) was making Viena and the whole Europe dance with his simple  waltzes and earning big bucks, the Russians were making serious music despite they were almost starving.

Arvo Part - fantastic minimalist Estonian composer

John Tavener - check out his album Svyati

Phillip Glass - Piano works and his recent soundtrack to 'The Hours' is very cool

Ravel and Debussy rock too

I grew up with classical music but never had a real favourite for a long time. During the last months I explored 'The Planets' by Holst - well, now I know from where John Williams took his ideas for the Star Wars-score. Along with Holst I picked up Grieg and Mussorgsky.

Looks like I'm in a romantic mood at the moment...

she feels a warming sun
she feels some raindrops wet her leaves
since that time she lost her griefs

Where's Prokofiev??Confused

The hard-man of 20th Century composers,always pushing the boundaries with his music,and always cocking a snoop to negative criticism.This is a man who,during the First World War wrote magical compositions for piano without having a piano available to him most of the time!

His Classical Symphony is a must for all those tempted to "click" on Haydn above.

Try this wonderful recording for size.

From that list, Mozart, because he was the biggest musical genius from that list.  He composed/thought of music at the speed it would take us to write out music we know very well (ie. write it out fast).

Others - Bach, Vivaldi, Bartok.

I really like Ravel too, but for me he just can't reach the lofty heights of the big boys,interesting though most of his music is. My favourite of the French composers would have to be Satie. Actually when Ravel died someone(I can't remember who) said: Ravel was allright,but he was no Satie.

i realize how under-estimated he is...
