I’ll start a playlist so I can check all these recommendations out.
Contemporary Classical Composers - new discoveries
I’ll start with my most recent discovery…Valentin Silvestrov. I’ve been going thru some of this Ukrainian composer’s work and I have to say I’m impressed.
Highly recommend to check out the following albums a starting point…
What are some of your favorites?

This topic is right up my alley! The vast majority of classical music I listen to is from post 1950's, up through the present era. Although I love the 2nd Viennese School: Schoenberg, Berg, Webern. I tend to like the 'thorny' sounding stuff, so, YMMV with my recommendations. One of my favorite composers is Elliott Carter. But: Charles Wuorinen, Bruno Maderna, Joan Tower, Stefan Wolpe, George Perle, Unsuk Chin, Olga Neuwirth, Roger Sessions, and others are also high on my list.
I'll start with a great Carter piece.
