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.
128x128marakanetz
From 30 plus years of listenning: J.S.Bach Ravel - complete piano works Debussy- ditto Grieg- Lyric pieces Brahms Rachmoninoff Poulenc,Satie, Barber, Puccini, Charles Griffes, Chopin,Edward McDowell AND ! current new find Gavin Bryars
In no particular order, and not complete: Bach (& sons), Vivaldi, Copeland, Stravinsky, Vaugh Williams, Ravel, Handel, Tchaikovsky, Sibelius, Gershwin, Debussy, R. Strauss...

Really, I wish I knew much more than I do about 'classical' music. I'm not as big on Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, etc., or piano music or opera, as I am on early music and 'modern' (20th century) music, but most of what you hear is high classical and romantic period warhorses. I'm not much of a concerto guy either - I like chamber or full orchestral pieces better. I enjoy listening to Minnesota Public Radio's "Music Through the Night" on my local NPR classical station for less often heard fare.
Bach, Morton Feldman, Stravinsky, Miles Davis. Chopin, Cecil Taylor, Bach again, Brahms, Mudarra, Michael Tippett, Charlie Parker. Django Reinhart, John Cage, Pauline Oliveros, Rachmaninoff. Others.
