Who is your fav classical composer? (albums, cover, show, performance)

clavis · 07-06-2008, 12:31 AM

Well, I find myself listening to Rachmaninov piano concerto number 2 and 3 recently... and unable to pull myself from them. So for the time being, favorite composer is Rachmaninov (aka "Rachy"

).

Dvorak

His New World Symphony is possibly my favorite piece of music ever.

I used to think in terms of a single favorite composer. But I don't have any such thing now. But I would share these "groups":

TOP group: Beethoven, Grieg, Tchaikovsky, Mahler, Ravel, Hindemith, Menotti, Barber, Poulenc

SECONDARY group: Bach, Dvorak, R Strauss, Debussy, Faure, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, Ives, Gershwin, Shostakovich, Stravinsky, Bernstein, Copland, John Adams

And another group, that I like because of ONE or two specific pieces: Boccherini, Bizet, Liszt, Leoncavallo, Mussorgsky, Kodaly, Dukas, Respighi, Borodin, Orff, Britten

For me it is Beethoven and Tchaikovsky, I do like Mozart, but just not as much as I prefer Beethoven!

Chopin all the way. Listen to Scherzo #2 and you'll know what I mean. And Fantasie-Impromptu is one of the funnest songs to play on the piano, once you master it.

hello guys, but nothing compares to Beethoven do they?...Beethoven had a significant role in expanding the size of an orchestra.
