[Constantinople]

Vivaldi. I love all of his music.

Some of Bach's music makes him a very close second.

[usababe]

I like Mozart.

[xerxes]

Yay, another agonizing decision thread...

I don't have a favourite per se, but my favourites are:
Beethoven
Mozart
Dvorak
Berliloz

[Constantinople]

Ah, forgot about Dvorak.

[usababe]

I also like Tchaikovsky.

Vivaldi. I love all of his music.

Wagner, Rossini, Don Henley, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Elton John

[Zipperfish]

Chopin. Lennon/McCartney. Bach. Mozart. Not necessarily in that order.

[Canadaka]

what about John Williams

No seriously, I think in time history will put him up on that list

[Hester]

Constantinople, what kind of list is this without Aaron Copeland? You HAVE to love his "Fanfare for the Common Man," and "Appalachian Spring." He's a rarity: he's American.

John Williams is my favorite classical composer. His scores for motion pictures are nothing less than symphonies and I agree that time will place him among the immortals.

I own his Greatest Hits CD (a two-pack) and I have it on quite frequently while commuting.

That said, my favorite overall composer is Phil Collins. No one will know his name in 300 years the way they'll know John Williams, but stiil, he is my personal favorite.

Hey, what can I tell you - I love the disillusioned sounds of Tchaikovsky. I am also a Vivaldi fan but that is limited to the four seasons.

Another excellent choice....but I voted for Beethoven!

blegh... Baroque fluff. Vivaldi and his arpeggiated figures are uninspiring, to say the least... Bach, too. It's the kind of music that makes you sit back and say, "Well, that was quite pleasant," if it didn't put you to sleep.

Classical and Romantic Period/Era gave us the greats, Beethoven above all.

Note to all: People who say they don't like classical music are wrong; what they don't like is Baroque music. Stop giving classical the blame!!

[PluggyRug]

I have most of Tchaikovsky on 33.333's, all of Pink Floyd's stuff.

Some Vangelis and some Tangerine Dream
