my three favourite composers are missing-

1) Anton Bruckner-to really live life is to hear his symphonies

2) Hector Berlioz-a really important link between the early and late romantics, and ahead of his time and redefined what an orchestra could do

3) Richard Strauss-the greatest composer of the twentieth century-Elgar was right about him-the musical genius of his day

          i do relate to your list, though, as i listen to about 45 different classical music composers in total, some of which are already listed

Where are Mussorgsky and Pachelbel? You really should have included an 'other' option.

Anyway, from this list, the choice for me as obvious: Stravinsky, no contest. Followed by Tchaikovsky & Beethoven. The rest fall behind.

Of these choices Brahms, but 20th Century Minimalism is really more my bag.

I can't say anything other than Tchaikovsky, as per my signature would suggest. Nothing any other composer hs done feels just as right to me as the Nutcracker Suite or his piano and violin concertos.

Liszt! You'd be hard pressed to find a more progressive composer. He anticipated impressionism, pioneered atonality, invented the piano recital and the symphonic poem and Wagner stole all his best ideas.

Didn't we just have a poll like this?

If we're gonna go with hearing and loving as a young 'un, I'm putting myself down for Beethoven. That damn Moonlight Sonata was the first thing I heard someone play in our house after my mom got a beaten down piano. It made me want to take lessons. And a cassette tape of The Emperor my grandmother gave me a bit afterward for a birthday pretty much sealed the deal.

I go have a special fondness for piano concertos (concerti?), so another choice for me would be Rachmaninov.

Stravinsky for me, ever since I heard parts of Rite of Spring on Fantasia as a young 'un.

When you've been visiting this site's forums long enough, it's really hard not to get deja po. That's it, I'm voting for other.  What do you mean that's not a choice? Angry

Shostacovich & Schubert, followed Bach & Beethoven from your selection.

Grieg from this list. Following Dvořák, Rimsky-Korsakov, Tchaikovsky, Smetana, Holst, Bartók, Sibelius...and many, many more.

We all know that progressive rock music has always been somewhat touched by classical music. So, it might be interesting to know how much proggers like classical composers and their music. The palette is wide from every period, though I have included only a few. You can naturally mention names not on the list.
