Obvs the clasics (Beethoven, Bach, Mozart) but also composers like Steve Reich ,Stravinsky, Dvorak, Shostakovich, Holst, Mahler, Ligeti, Messiaen. Boulez, Paganni, Ravel etc etc etc Edited by Menindrag, Jul 13 2009, 04:07 AM.

Hindemith (especially Symphonic Metamorphosis) and Ticheli come in at a close second/third. (All modern ones. Dunno why.) Grainger (I never get tired of Colonial Song no matter how many times I hear it), Holst, and Copland are a few others who have produced pieces I really enjoy. Of course, I seldom find a composer who hasn't written at least one thing I like. And even though it isn't necessarily "classical" music in the classical sense ( ), I'm a big Leonard Bernstein fan. Quote: Woweee, you sure know your classical music. Oh be nice. An appreciation for film scores puts him deeper into classical music than most people. I think this thread could be very productive if it doesn't turn into a pissing contest about who can drop the most Russian sounding name and appear "cultured." Not everyone will be hardcore and camp out in concert halls. Especially with this sort of music, you're most likely to find people who just dabble in it. Ultimately though, it's just another genre of music...like any of the others. Only a lot older. Edited by Dave, Jul 13 2009, 05:53 AM.

Some films scores are excellent, (The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, Lord Of The Rings, Requeim For A Dream etc)
