Hello all. It is wonderful to see so many composers' names mentioned. I would just add a few. Names I haven't seen mentioned but written some of the most amazing music: Faure, Respighi (sp?) Massenet, Rimsky-Korsakov, Prokoffief.
Shostakovich is one of my favorites. How he survived under Stalin and still managed to produce "political music" was just short of miraculous. Then again, that's just my opinion.
