Whats some got Modern classical composers I could check out?
There isn&#39;t such a thing as modern classical music. The Classical period was from 1750-1825.

I suppose Golden Guitarest meant Classical Music&#39;s Composers of the "Modern" period.. :unsure: , in example:

Bartók , Berg, Britten, Copland, Debussy, Ives, Prokofiev, Ravel, Shostakovich, Stravinsky and others....am I right ? :blink:

Have fun &#33; :P

Beethoven, and not just for his music, although that alone is more than adequate.


He was generally morose and suspicious, and never succeeded in making any permanent relationship with a woman. His deafness increased his isolation and mistrust of human beings; but this disability merely accentuated characteristics which were already present. He displayed in marked degree, the conviction of superiority so typical of schizoid characters...&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
Dr Storr

The only thing better than a genius is a tortured genius. :)

For the technically minded he suffered from a schizoid personality disorder (not to be confused with schizophrenia) .

i dont know about classical but my favorite composer is Danny Elfman. Check him out.

[PersianBulldog]

I surely must say Tcaikovsky..

[Goldwheelz]

Wagner... B)

[chalice]

Beethoven and Wagner for the pure drama of it all.
I do love Gershwin though.

[crazy_billy_bats]

bach & beethoven

[Sasage]

Gustav Holst if that counts......

[Lamsey]

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

I am shocked and stunned.

[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&#39;t be expectin some lame ass polka..) ? Just try &#39;Piano Concerto nr 3&#39; & try to hang on &#39;till the end... Oh, don&#39;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 &#33;
Put yourself down in something comfy & start off with &#39;VIII&#39;, &#39;X&#39;, &#39;II&#39;, &#39;IV&#39;,..

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

[Afronaut]

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 :) :lol:

My favourite classical composer is Renoir, although I also like Wordsworth and some of Bob Dylan&#39;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.
fanfare for the common man&#39;s a beauty too.

Emerson Lake & Palmer did a great rehash of that.

[neil1967]

Quite right lamboy It was that version I heard first and later sought out the original
who said rock can&#39;t be educational (awaiting silly answers).
