There seems to be a lack of post-War 20th century composers here !!!!

Anyone like classical electronic music?

I can recommend you the Italian pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi! Especially his album Divenire is really atmospheric. Kind of dark, too. =)

I hope I am not the only one in here who has heard of him, 'cause he's much too good for that.

Edit: I'm glad to see he has been mentioned at least once in the thread already. =D

Anyone ever hear of The Moldau by Bedrich Smetana? That is among my all time favorites. I don't love a lot of his stuff but that piece is just incredible. My favorite composers in order if this helps are:

Tchaikovsky
Mozart
Beethoven
Chopin
Brahms
Bach
Handel
Vivaldi
Schubert
Dvorak

The list goes on but those guys are incredible.

MondayMorningMeltdown, there are also incredible composers of the 20th century. Feel free to try Stravinsky and Debussy, very digestible !
