What is/are your the most favourite composer s ?


...not neccesarily classical but the ones that just blasting song after song, I just mean a serious one i.e. with sophistication level certainly higher than a 12-bar blues.

I nominate the following in no particular order:

Irmin Schmidt,
Astor Piazzolla,
Rachmaninoff,
Prokofiev.

Can't get into Baroque...math turned into music.  ugh

Mozart and Beethoven symphonies, concertos etc.  All transcendent.

All the Russians...so emotional, based on the nation's history it's not hard to see how that would be.

THE favorite is Dmitri Shostakovich!  His 5th symphony is perhaps the most moving piece of music I've ever heard.  I own and listen to various interpretations which reveal different aspects of Shosty's complicated psyche.
