My knowledge on Composers are very limited. But I havn't really heard anything that I dislike.

Although the symphonies and long pieces from the Romantic Period bore the shit out of me. I'd much rather listen to something from the Baroque or Classical period.

My favorites

Vivaldi
Mozart
Beethoven
Chopin
Phillip Glass
Brahms
Paganinni
Bach
Haydn

Yeah...just a few that i've listen to.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Stygia is a fictional land in Robert E. Howard's Conan Mythos which is where the character Thoth-Amon is from.

alot of people find some of the excessive music of the romantic and late romantic periods dull at first... it takes some work to get into it but it becomes quite rewarding. overrall i'd say the romantic and modern are my favorite era's and my least fav's would be the baroque and classical simply for the fact that so much of it is indistinguishable.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yeah I could see that happening.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Yeah I could see that happening.

really the only classical era composer i like is mozart and aside from Handel and Bach there are only a handful of baroque pieces that i really enjoy

It is a mythical place in Hell

 

[Thoth-Amon]

It is a mythical place in Hell

that may well be but the sense that i was using it in was in its relation to the Conan stories

 

[Death Aflame]

I have just been getting into classical recently. Some of my favorite composers:

Stravinsky (typical I know, but The Rite of Spring is absolutely phenomenal)
Dvorak
Mahler (9th in particular, though I need to hear more of his stuff)
Shostakovich
Yann Tiersen
Holst
Beethoven
Chopin

In general I am liking Romantic and Modern stuff the most, as they seem more interesting musically than most 'classical' era works.

 

[tagradh]

I've been listening to lots of Vaughan Williams, Grieg, Holst and Sibelius the past week or so. Classical is second best only to ambient for writing. :>

 

[mutantllama]

Wagner is pretty cool.

 

[mutantllama]

Sym No 3 is my favourite classic piece ever. Makes most doom metal seem positively cheery in comparison. Haven't heard Totus Tuus though

This also sounds pretty cool.

Nice and dark.
