You know, I never really understood this comment about Vivaldi. Isn't it rather normal for a composer to sound the same throughout all his works?
Also, for those who do criticise Vivaldi for being repetitive, I urge you to listen to some of his sacred works (besides the famous Gloria, RV 589) - they are, if anything, the most original works of his conception.

I hate Elgar for the same reason I hate Mahler - they are composers of dreadful music that makes me want to pull my eyes out of their sockets.
I have a few new adds to my fav. composer list:
- Veracini
- Gasparini
- Lully
- Holst
- Shostakovich (<3 Symphony N° 10)
