Your favourite classical composers/ works?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who loves classical music... My two favourite works are Mascagni's "Cavalleria Rusticana" and Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana". How about you?

Oh, I love Carmina Burana as well. We're actually going to sing it with my school choir. It'll be an experience. Another work I just love is Toccata and Fugue in D minor by Johann Sebastian Bach.

No one is better than Tchaikovsky. His music has become an archetype.
My favorite work is his Symphony No. 5 in E minor, 2nd movement.

Yes! My favorite work from J.S. Bach. I cannot pick a favorite because I equally love Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons and Ludwig van Beethoven' Symphony No. 7, Second Movement Allegretto.

I like many of them. I play flute and piano, so I've played a lot of classical music. One of my absolute favorites is Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. It just brings about so many feelings, and it has a beautiful sadness to it. I also love works by Mozart, J.S. Bach, Handel, Debussy, Pachelbel, Rimsky-Korsakoff, Telemann, etc. Too many to name. I'd have to be at home and go through all of my sheet music to write down all the individual pieces I enjoy most.

I love the stuff of Edvard Grieg. I love the way he blend norwegian folk-music into his mighty symphonies. My favorite pieace is Peer Gynt suite, espescially Hall Of The Mountain King. Might stuff!

I also love the matrix-soundtracks. The majority of this is made by Don Davis.

I know this is the typical answer given from somebody who's pretty clueless to Classical Music, but I like:

Richard Wagner: Ride of the Valkyrie
Some bloke: Hall of the Mountain King

I like stuff from Johann Sebastian Bach as well; but cannot name any of his pieces. Flog me later.

I hate Hall of the Mountain King. I have played it so many times, and the song is so repetitive. . .

I like Robert Smith as a composer (not the Robert from The Cure, obviously). I also like John Williams, James Swearingen, and Danny Elfman.

As for classical, I like Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven.

Tschaikowsky (a variation of his name I prefer), who is not a classical composer, but rather a Romantic one.*

And I like works produced by the Russian Five.

Vivaldi was baroque, but he, too, is good.

(Only composers who were part of the Classical Era produced classical music. Technically, everything else is just "classic".)

I love rich orchestral music, opera and light waltz.
Some of the composers I love are Verdi, Vagner, Johann Strauss jr., G.F. Handel and Richard Strauss.
I love Night on the Bald Mountain by Musorgski (Fantasia version), Orf's Catulli Carmina, Mendelssohn's Elijah...
I don't like chamber music very much and I don't like ballet. I can listen to ballet music but I don't like to look at the dance.

I can't stand Wagner. His music is so theatrical as to be fake.

I love Mozart, especially his requiems and piano concerti/solo piano pieces. My favorite at the moment is his Requiem, K. 626: I, Introit/Kyrie.

I've listened to only a few songs by most other composers, but I love Vivaldi's Four Seasons. I like Grieg's Piano Concerto in A minor, but I don't care for Peer Gynt. Debussy is too sweet and insubstantial for my tastes.

Ah, I almost forgot-- I have a great CD by Sting and lutenist Edin Karamazov in which they perform music by Elizabethan composer John Dowland. It isn't classical, but it is beautiful-- very minimal, with only two lutes/archlutes and vocals by Sting.

aye my gosh!
Mozart was like a popstar in his tme and did what you could call mainstream. He was by no meanings more inventive than Wagner!
I'd like to say Wagner probably was MORE inventive though he certainly was a drama queen.

He may have been inventive, but I just don't like the sound of his music.

Handel's "Messiah," easily. Despite its religious overtones, its flow and execution (by a proper orchestra/company) is heavenly.

Vivaldi's Four Seasons is wonderful. When I was in Venice last year I got to hear a recital in an old church. Mind-blowing!

I enjoy nearly all classical music (my dad has about 5 billion CDs of it)

Alas, the only classical music I have on my iPod is Mozart's Requiem, Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor, Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt and something by Tchaikovsky, i've forgotten what it is. ><
