Daniel Alley Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I'm seeing the name John Williams way too much. And Berlioz, common now, he's not that great! As for me... Handel Mozart Mendelssohn Dvorak Puccini Vaughn-Williams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlioz Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I never said that. The thread specifically says FAVORITE composer, not THE GREATEST. And I like Berlioz's music alot because it makes me feel something that no other music can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 hmm. i forgot to mention koji. i love mario/zelda music, they're so fitting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Gently Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 hmmm.....it's hard for me to pick a favorite or put them in order.... but for opera I'd say it's Verdi, Puccini, Rossini, Mozart, Donizzeti (though I haven't heard many works by him), and Wagner. For piano it's a close tie between Schubert, Chopin, and Beethoven, with Mozart close behind. For everything else there's still Schubert, Beethoven, and Mozart, along with Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, and Mahler. I guess those are my favorites, though I love all music, really :D. I simply have more of those CDs right now and have heard more of their music :wub:... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaepesGenistae Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I am shocked and appalled that so few have said Bach! Listening to the Art of Fugue (IMHO) is like getting stuck into a hearty Christmas dinner. Other personal favourites: Shostakovich, Handel, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Balada, Purcell, Gilbert and Sullivan (:) ) and the inimitable Buxtehude.

Guest JohnGalt Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I am shocked and appalled that so few have said Bach! And I'm shocked and horridly appalled by this statement. I'm going to add Saint-Saens and Scriabin to my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_is_D Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 You don't like many other good stuff either. Like sexual pleasure and Ligeti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I thought everyone liked Bach... :P I totally agree with Saint-Saens, though... esp. the Danse Macabre, the Suite Algerienne, 3rd Symph....

javileru Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 It's interesting that Shostakovich is so liked by everyone... He's kind of pushed aside because of the so called "avant-garde" movements.. A shame of course.My favourite composers, in a roughly chronological form: Gesualdo, Palestrina, Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Brahms, Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Bartok, Penderecki, Ligeti, Schnittke, Gorecki, Rochberg, Reich, Ades. Intersting you like Gesualdo I imagine that ur impressed by his expressive and very chromatic pieces, considering that he was from the renaissance period. I would choose Josquin Deprez in that case :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujimufu Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Hm.. I can't really say. Bach, Mozart, Debussy, Chopin, Vivaldi and Morricone (in no particular order) Of course, there are always pieces I love from other composers, such as the gurre-lieder by schoenberg, bartok's concerto for orchestra, stravinsky's symphony of the psalms etc etc :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiMuso Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Tough question. I'm a total sucker for big Romantic sound, So my favourites right now would probably be Berlioz, Tchaikovsky, Verdi and also Stravinsky (what's not to like about him?) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnGalt Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Stravinsky (what's not to like about him?) ;) Just off the top of my head, Elegy for Two Trumpets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
