Love this type of music, could listen for hours..

Orff's O Fortuna, which leads off his masterpiece, Carmina Burana comes to mind.

I tried Vagner. :P

The composer to whom you've attempted to refer is Wagner. Richard Wagner.

I spell poorly, but I never misspell a name - particularly not a that of a famous composer.

Have you - on occasion - misspelled your own name? Just asking.

"Phantom of the Opera" - isn't an opera, nor is it classical music. It's a form of music known as "Broadway", or "Broadway musical", or just "musical".

No - He Won't Like Atonality / Dodecaphony

He just told you that he likes the completely tonal music of Andrew Lloyd Webber.

He specifically asked for deep, rich orchestration.

So - what've you recommended? The opposite.

You're an ideal example of the type that I deal with in my treatise "Classical People", under the subheading "Clueless Classical".

Here's some shocking news for you. Most people - alive and dead - hate atonality. Hate it. Today's youth - raised on cRap, metal, and EDM/techno - have absolutely NO reference point for dodecaphony. To their ears, it's sounds like absolutely incoherant rubbish. As one Millennial chickie exclaimed in response to a few measures of Schoenberg, "Ugggggh Yuk!!!!!".

Get a clue.
