Who is your favorite Composer?

[Brainonska511]

I could always go for a good Vivaldi.

 

[SWScorch]

Hmmm... I really like Bach, Handel, Haydn and Vivaldi. I know Bach the best though so I'll pick him.

 

[Legendary]

Mozart, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Liszt, Bach, Grieg

 

[welco]

Bach is easily my favorite composer of all time. Plus, he's composed more pieces than any other person on that list. Not that it really matters, I just thought I'd throw it out there.

 

[Accipiter22]

pachelbel, who's not on the list, then vivaldi

 

[acole1]

JOHN WILLIAMS!!

You should add him to the list.

I agree with that. Handel's water-music suite slays ass.

Baroque > all

Rossini. I always thought if ever there was someone who would go to a Meatloaf concert and nod his head and tap his toes and think that the legacy has passed on to another generation it would be Rossini.

 

[WHipLAsh13]

Beeth Oven

Mussorgsky is incredible. His "Pictures of an Exhibition" is amazing. He composed "Night on Bald Mountain" for those of you who didn't know.

Rachmaninoff ties with Mussorgsky. Rachmaninoff's piano concertos are overwhelming.

Rimsky-Korsakov is amazing also.

I'm curious, to people who picked Pachelbel... has anyone here heard any of Pachelbel's music besides the Canon? I mean, he has some great stuff (I really like the Magnificat fugues), but to name him my favorite composer...

 

[trogdor07]

I'd say Beethoven after his impaired hearing.

 

[potato28]

Beethoven. Amazing composer, even when he went deaf. Close is Tchaikovsky tho...

i voted for sibelius, just to be a rebel.

Piano is the greatest instrument ever created.

Chopin is the greatest piano composer ever.

 

[yhelothar]

wow surprised no one voted for debussy.
Listen to l'apres midi d'un faun and he'll quickly become your favorite.

Chopin is a close second for me though. His piano pieces are just amazing.

Here's l'apres midi d'un faun for those who want to hear
