Brahms, the greatest musical craftsman in history, stands alone at the top of my list.

Other than him, my favorites include the Mighty Handful, Shostakovich, Richard Strauss, Vaughan Williams, Mendelssohn, Kalinnikov, Rheinberger... actually, it's hard to limit it to a few favorites. I like virtually the entire Romantic era, and a number of more recent composers (notable exception: I have yet to hear a Bartok piece that I've liked in the slightest, and I've heard almost all of his better-known stuff.)

The piano quartet is COMPLETE!!!


Please note that I will not review the following without a very good reason:
1) MP3-only posts: no score + outside link = bad deal. Especially true because I'm on dialup when at home.
2) Shoutbox or PM spam: excessive shameless plugs get very annoying very fast.
3) Pieces written in a short time or with little effort: if it's not worth the composer's time and energy, then it's not worth mine either.
