Best Classical Composer

[Moeli]

Even more compelled to utter the words "Rachmaninoff" seeing the former replies..
This one just cannot be ignored. U want to dive into the very soul of Russia (don't be expectin some lame ass polka..) ? Just try 'Piano Concerto nr 3' & try to hang on 'till the end... Oh, don't forget to krank up your speakers for that dramatic touch

For those among us with a more intimate approach I recommend "Yves Meersschaert": a recent melodramatic little basterd !
Put yourself down in something comfy & start off with 'VIII', 'X', 'II', 'IV',..

I cannot believe that no-one has mentioned Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart yet.

I am shocked and stunned.

I thank you in the name of my Country, that you didnt forget one of our greatest men (beside Arnold Schwarzenegger of course :-")

Edward Grieg - the Peer Gunt (In the Hall of the Mountain King and that stuff)
and Vivaldis - 4 Seasons are my favorites. (the Winter)

Dunno what "era" they belong really but i really like them

My favourite classical composer is Renoir, although I also like Wordsworth and some of Bob Dylan's early work. And I must also mention Mango Juice for sheer fruityness.

beaten to it by that nice crazy billy bats, Bach and beethoven, check out the soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange for a new twist on some classical muzak.

Emerson Lake & Palmer did a great rehash of that.

Quite right lamboy It was that version I heard first and later sought out the original
who said rock can't be educational (awaiting silly answers).
