Favorite Classical Composer?

[Masonjar]

Mahler

 

[K2Grey]

Lately it's been Bach.

Mahler closely followed by Brahms and Tchaikovsky. Bach deserves a mention too, in fact I'm listening to him right now.

 

[Hooah]

I'm bored, so I will make a poll.

 

[Zorander]

Though I'm no die-hard classical listener, I really love Tchaikovsky's composition, especially the Swanlake and Nutcracker Prince suites.

 

[kodreaming]

It is really hard to say...

I will say, Haydn...

 

[SONGsanmanwah]

Just started and it's Mozart for me

 

[Bootleg]

Chopin

 

[Quixizous]

Beethoven, because he rocked out with Bill and Ted in that movie.

Gosh, just one!

I don't think I'm well versed enough, even after enjoying it for so long. Jazz took over my musical life!

Hmm, just one. Arcangelo Corelli.

I'm absolutely in love with his Violin Sonata Op. 5 No. 12 in E Minor. Among the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard/played.

How can you ask me to choose? There are so many amazing composers.

For now, I'll go with Claude Debussy.

Bach! I have so many versions of his music, interpretations from Gardiner to Sergio Luca playing his Partitas with an Amati, to Walter (Wendy) Carlos and Don Dorsey with their synth versions, and Bob McFerrin singing while Yo Yo Ma plays his cello....why is it that is music sounds glorious regarding on how is played?
Beethoven (5th and 9th symphonies are beyond words)
Peter Ilich T: what about his 5th Symphony?
Vivaldi: his Gloria is heaven itself...
Handel:Messiah...wow!
But above all...still Bach.....yes!

But you are right.....couldnt agree more.

Bach is the man. I must say.

Antonio Vivaldi a not-so-close second.
