That's a long list mahgister mines won't even be half that size , for a start I only like classical music and have spent over sixty years listening to it.
I love with a passion Claudio Arrau, he is the pianist with whom I clicked in the sixties and it has been a love affair ever since (spiritually) !!!
I really admire Horowitz for his wonderful technique but I could never love him the way I do Arrau.
Moravec I love especially playing Chopin.
I really admire Barenboim for both his pianism and his conducting.
With composers the ones I love are Bach. Beethoven , Haydn, Liszt , and Chopin.
The ones I admire are, Mahler, Bruckner, Ravel, Scarlatti , Handel , Purcell.
There are some composers unfortunately who I just can't stand and they are the second Viennese school and their ilk.
There are a few twentieth century composers that I love but they are few so apologies if I ruffle anyone's feathers. My two that I love and admire are Rachmaninov and Shostakovitch , both giants in my mind.
I am also partial to some Stravinsky now and then but it has to be when I am in the mood. As for the rest who came after those three I simply do not listen to something twice, once being enough. I now would rather arrive at a concert after the opening piece as where I come from
( Scotland ) the orchestras do not get government funding without programming 20th century and beyond which is a laugh as when the piece is finished you cannot hear the meagre applause for the sound of feet clomping into the hall.
People do vote with their feet !!!
