Who are your favourite Classical and Contemporary music composers?
For me in terms of classical- Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky, Bethooven, Claude Debussy to name a few.
Contemporary- Hans Zimmer, Ramin Djawadi, Ludovico Einaudi. |

I’m more into pieces of music rather than one composer.
Seeing it performed live by the Philharmonic Orchestra has always been a highlight.
I’ve seen Einaudi a couple of times and have tickets to see Agnes Obel in a few months - another pianist

"Igor Stravinsky.
Anton' Dvorák.
Johann Strauss II.
My mum loved Strauss waltzes.

I always wanted to go to Vienna and dance to the The Blue Danube, but Mèlí wouldn't let me.  "
I'll go with you, and wear a huge ball gown that swishes as we 3 step 
As an aside, I sang The Blue Danube at the Royal Albert Hall when I was young. |

*my spelling was too bad to forgive*
Yes to Einaudi
And a second shout for Alexis Ffrench
I also love Olafur Arnalds, Poppy Ackroyd and Colm mac con iomaire
Also has vocals on it, but the first two albums by Agnes Obel are lush |

I think I would be rather amenable to this suggestion.
You can sing the TBD at the next STP. |

I had a much higher voice back then. I'm more a baritone now |

Hard to pick a composer, some I like pretty much everything I've heard of theirs - Beethoven, Chopin, maybe Mozart. Others like Lizt, Rachmaninov and Shostakovich there are some pieces I absolutely love and others I really don't like, plus it depends on my mood.
Einaudi is OK, nice to relax to but not a huge fan. Karl Jenkins is more my style.
Really nice to see the amount of people on here who listen to classical. It sometimes feels like I'm in a very small minority as its pretty much all I listen to if alone.

I'll give Karl Jenkins a try then, always happy to get recommendations for new contemporary composers |
