Stravinsky, though I would have voted for Varese and some others if I could vote for more than one.

Ravel's Prelude from "Le tombeau de Couperin" I believe is the most "prog" classical piece. Of course, versions may vary, but the one on youtube by Angela Hewitt is pretty close. It's not as punctual in places. I like it to state its themes more clearly with less pedal. Some versions are also played very fast or slower. Emerson was given advice as a youth to study Ravel (and Debussy?) if he wanted to learn jazz, which he thought was bad advice. But you can hear how progressive rock modes can grow out of impressionistic works like this. There are several French composers loosely associated with Impressionism and they've all been interesting. |

I'm not a big fan of classical music but Stravinsky is my choice for The Firebird Suite and The Rite of Spring. Holst would be my next choice for The Planets.

I adore Gustav Mahler's symphonies and orchestral works with vocals (such as "Das Lied von der Erde"). From the list I'd choose J. S. Bach.
