Who is your favorite Classical composer? As of right now, mine is probably Brahms. His 1st symphony is simply incredible.

For now, Tchaikovsky, but I've been wanting to look into Wagner and Brahms, but never find the time to browse Barnes and Noble. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

My favorite composers would have to be Schoenberg and Cage, but if you're talking "real" classical music, Berlioz is a definite favorite. A year of music theory has taught me to hate Bach for his contributions to Counterpoint. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/kingofbizzare/?chartstyle=asimpleblue5">

Classical music is too pretentious for me. Respected, but disliked. Brahams, Debussy, Bach, Shubert, Mozart, Handel, Tchaikovsky, ect.....
Ive listend to a few of those names, It fails to move me, ehen it finished I feel disappointed that I just wasted time.

Either Musorgsky, Chopin, Vivaldi, or the Russian Five.

| I think that Georg Friedric Händel has composed the most beautiful classical songs, but it very difficult to name the one who would be definetally the best! |

1. Bach (JS) 2. Brahms 3. Mahler 4. Schubert 5. Shostakovich 6. Dvorak 7. Bruckner 8. Mozart 9. Mendelssohn 10. Sibelius The top 6 of these are pretty solid, the others could be replaced by other names if I make a list next week. ------------- Blog this: http://artrock2006.blogspot.com |

Eh? My favorite compser is Dmitri Schostacovich, although I almost exclusivly listen to just his String Quartets. But there's 15 of them, and I listen to them a lot. I also love late Shubert and Beethoven, and really starting to get into Karlheinz Stockhausen. Surprisingly beautiful. I've basically found some great stuff from most of the big names of all periods. ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |

Well they featured Shostakovich at the proms and it's his 100th year of his birth and what I heard was pretty cool, but the one that stuck out was his 'cello symphony number 1 (I think). After that, well, it's kind of different to everyone else... George Geshwin's Rhapsody In Blue. I'm not into Opera, so most Operas will pass me by. -------------

Mine is always changing but I still go more with the most celebrated past masters: Bach, Beethoven, Wagner, etc. However, recently I'm getting into more recent masters: Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Villa-Lobos, Gershwin, Debussy, Satie, Rodrigo, etc.  ------------- Guigo ~~~~~~ |

I absolutely adore Charles Ives. His music simply blows me away, especially his 4th Symphony. I will not die happy until I hear it performed live. I have a CD of a couple of works (Hymns II and Hymns III) by Nikolai Korndorf and they're excellent, but his music is nearly impossible to find.

 Got a year ago a comprehensive Deutsche Grammofon's 6CD release with majority of his music played by Gothenburg's Symphonic Orchestra conducted by Neeme Järvi. What an epic cultural work from this talented Estonian! |
