Wagner
Mahler
Mozart

Do you like Bartok, Debussey, Ravel or Barber? Those are my favourite classical composers.

Heh...oddly, not really. Out of that list I like Barber the most. Don't care for Bartok at all, or Debussy, but I respect their originality. Just not for me.

 

There is much greater variety in the classical repetoire than there is in rock. The difference between, say, Mahler and Brahms, is galactic. (I don't like Brahms either!)

 

Other composers I really like:

 

Mendehlsson

Schubert

Bruckner

Hadyn

Prokofiev

Shostakovich

Chopin

Richard Strauss

Mozart, although a little trite in some of his earlier works, was extremely brilliant....I wish I can remember names better. I grew up on classical with my father.....
