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?

The soprano wordless "singing" is incoherent to me and the orchestra makes some nauseating sounds. This is my opinion, not a fact. I listened to nearly all of it so I gave it a chance. I love Bollywood musicals but not Indian operas where the singing apparently includes the tones between Western notes. What to you think about the Maria Newman work? Apparently, my Lucas Richman piece did not get posted. Here it is: TYRL3428TH (youtube.com) (from 20:40).@

I must say that i listened choral music since my child years... And I understand that many will have reserve for the Buddah passion , myself i listened oriental music for a long time...
