Who's your poison?
I like Bach, Xenakis, Bartok, Mahler, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Ravel, Debussy, Boulez, Glass, Adams, Takemitsu (yes he counts because he's explicitly bridging east and west in his work), Lachenmann, Saariaho, Schoenberg, Mozart, Ligeti, Part and Dutilleux
>>14945I kinda only like Beethoven and later. I really hate all that arpeggiated clavichord shit. My favorite era is the Romantic era.
Stravinsky is probably my favorite and my favorite song of his is Naissance d'Apollon.
You should try Sviridov!

Besides the people you listed, I like Tchaiovsky, Shastakovich , Chopin ( I like his piece which is called funeral march a lot ! As I know it was played in Brezhnev's funeral )
>>14947I'll give him a look! I used to listen to Shostakovich a lot too
>>14946Apollo is honesty pretty underrated when it comes to Stravinsky, really pretty much all of his stuff after the early ballets is underrated
>>14949>Apollo is honesty pretty underrated when it comes to Stravinsky, really pretty much all of his stuff after the early ballets is underratedIt's all the stuff he is more known for is more "sound-trackish" and I guess he is the progenitor of soundtrack music because he was making it before movies had soundtracks, but I'll always think of that song as the dinosaur song from Fantasia. So he is more known for that less melodic, more soundtrackish music but I think Naissance d'Apollon is the best melodic theme I've heard by him. Like his Ode to Joy.
