Late Child Prodigy Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Shostakovich or mozart, two great extremes but I love both of their styles.Mozart with the great balance,and Shostakovich with the great scale.Its funny saying that,because Im not too fond of Mahler.I want to like it, but the music seems to go to places I dont want it to go.

Hunting Wabbits is awesome but you cannot really beat the climax in The Jazz Police. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anders Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Who the hell is Froberger? :huh: I've taken an interest in Gabriel Faure lately. His music is hazy, dreamy and harmonically incredible. It transports you to a different plane of existence, dude! Go here for an open-source recording (+sheet music to follow along with) of his nocturne, Op. 119. I own recordings of all his nocturnes. The last 7 are ridiculously modern for their time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hare Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Debussy is my favourite. But then I worship impressionism so I would say that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Allen Pinard Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Film Composer: Er...man...way to many. But I would narrow it down to Zimmer. Yeah...that's right. I said Zimmer. :whistling: Classical Composer: Holst Pop Composer: Honestly don't know for sure, since most pop isn't written by the artist. Broadway Composer: ALW. Specifically for Phantom of the Opera (only a few songs) and Jesus Christ Superstart. Rock/Heavy Metal/Screamo and the like: Tool and Evanescese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anders Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I've been majorly digging and gaining appreciation for Olivier Messiaen, Carl Nielsen, Francis Poulenc, Edvard Grieg, Klaus Egge (!!!) and Geirr Tveitt (yay scandinavians) lately. So no, no ''favorite composer''.. Not favorite composers either: Lately I've come to just revel in the music rather than getting caught up in specific artists. It's great. It's like floating around on a gigantic river of milk... (if you can imagine) hi, my favorite composer is Andrey Rubtsov. what's yours? I looove the young Mr. Rubtsov.. He's a composer of much sprightliness. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manossg Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Andrej Rubtsov is just great...his viola pieces are orgasmic, indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenor10 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Very Hard question. I would have to say, Puccini. But of corse i have a good long list, containing John Adams, Stravinsky, Dvorak, Mahler, so on so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
