Greatest Composers of All Time

Oh, I meant to add that I would beg to differ with the OP - in fact, a great many audiophiles listen to at least some classical music - it is classical music, after all, that provides by far the toughest test for a great system, with it's much greater dynamic range and much greater range of timbres. Perhaps the younger audiophiles do not listen to as much anymore, but I would argue that very few long-term audiophiles (and I mean decades long) do not listen to any classical.

Thanks for posting this. I can't believe that they used the 1812 overture as an example for Tchaikovsky. All in all it was fun sampling the videos even though some no longer function

Charles1dad - are you familiar with Jacques Loussier? Classical music in jazz.

Mceljo,
No I'm not. I willing to give it a listen, but jazz and classical are just different to me.I wonder how one could blend these two forms successfully.
Regards,

Agree with you Learsfool regarding Liszt

My favorite or greatest list, mostly based on their range of compositions for what its worth. 4-10 could be swapped around.
1 - Bach
2 - Mozart
3 - Beethoven
4 - Brahams
5 - Schubert
6 - Debussey
7 - Tchaikovsky (I can't believe it either Arh)
8 - Stravinsky
9 - Wagner
10 - Prokofiev (just me I suppose, but I love the unpredicable nature of his music, you never know where its going, very exciting to listen to, particularly his 3rd Piano Concerto)
