theshroud13 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Can't pick. If pressed I'd likely answer either Mussorgsky, Shostakovich, Stravinsky, Sakuraba, Brahms, Beethoven, or Bach though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I like Borodin, Tchaikovsky. Stravinsky. Liszt. Dvorak. Yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PraeludiumUndFuge Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I am a lover of the baroque period of music. In no particular order, and not including Bach, I am particularly fond of the following, each for their specialties (excluding Lully's operas and ballets). Antonio Vivaldi, Dietrich Buxtehude, Francois Couperin, Jean-Baptiste Lully. Some others can be mentioned but these names mentioned are "heavyweights" of the baroque music.

violinfiddler Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Dvorak, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Vaughn Williams, and so on and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PianoBeast10489 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Dvorak, definitely. Every single one of that man's symphonies are phenominal. Not to mention his chamber music. The Dumky Piano Trio is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil.doctor.cow Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Mine is Dvorak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manossg Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hmm, difficult. Albinoni, Bach, Faure, Saint-Saens, Shostakovich, Schnittke, Hindemith, Gorecki, Piazzolla, Ph. Glass, Preisner...to name a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikolas Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 What Mano :) It's not Sideris? :D:D Ok favourite??? So difficult, so difficult... Prokofiev, Schinttke, Etlux (!), Radiohead. Composers I listen to every day. but of course depends on the day and the mood as well. Lots of times I go throuh a classical or baroque period, where Bach and Beethoven, and Mozart and Brahms rule! Ah well... :toothygrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Temple Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Mahler, Stravinsky, Bruckner and Dvorak. Lists of favorite pieces would definitely include a lot of other composers' works, but these are the ones whose general output and style draws me in the most.

Ravels Radical Rivalry Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Hmmmmm . . . . I have no idea. I also do not think that it is fair to compair Bach to Shore or Beethoven to Schoenberg because of the completely different styles. So, I think I will list my favorite for each era or genre of classical music. Pre-Baroque: William Byrd Baroque: either Bach or Handel (I really have a hard time deciding) Classical: Beethoven Romantic: Grieg or Rachmaninoff (I might have thrown Tchaikovsky in there too - this is another impossible choice) Impressionist: Debussy (Ravel) American/Contemporary: Barber, Berstein, or Copland (probably Barber overall and this is probably the most diffucult to chose because I am such a huge fan of the classical American composers) Modern: Prokofiev (just about the only one of this era that I really like) Film score: Howard Shore, Jerry Goldsmith, Ennio Morricone, or Thomas Newman (I am Shore's #1 fan so yes it is Shore as my favorite, but I just had to mention that I loved the others too) Opera: Without a doubt it is Puccini (as far as the music goes Tourandot is the best opera ever) Overall top 5 of all genres (probably?): - Debussy - Barber - Shore - Rachmaninoff - Grieg (Berstein and Ravel :P) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
