Greatest Composers of All Time

Tubegroover, I spoke once with Christopher Herrick, a concert organist, and asked him which of the Bach Trio Sonatas (which he plays beautifully, BTW) he liked best; his response was whichever one he was playing at the time. I guess I'm sort of the same way when it comes to my favorite composers and pieces of music.

Chayro,
You're correct nothing to be gained here, but I did really appreciate your
comment.With two grown children out of college and beginning their
respective careers/adult lives the current direction of the country really
disappoints me.

The PRE speaker is excellent I'm sure but I'm very happy with the older
Total Eclipse with the present Coincident components.These terrific
speakers improved further with the Duneland CAST capacitor placed in the
crossover. I am glad you had the opportunity to hear Israel's products.

Chayro I like the make up of your system, I know Classical music and
everything else sounds just fine in your home.
Regards,

No sense ranking classical composers other than saying that Bach is leaps and bounds still the greatest ever, and the list did get that one right.

Chayro and Charles1dad, Well stated commentaries on the current non-sustainable inherently wrong headed pour someone else's money down utterly ridiculous holes mentality. As has been stated, "Socialism works great until you run out of someone else's money." Now, back to the music. I could not live without Bach, Beethoven and Mahler. Charles1dad, add to the above recommendations Aaron Copland's piano concerto. Leonard Bernstein is the only one I ever heard get this piece right. It is just a gas. Might want to give that a try. Lenny was unique.

As someone who enjoys music of the Renaissance and other early periods, I just want to put in a good word for perhaps the greatest of all composers of early music, Anon.

Incredibly, he was a distinguished and prolific literary author as well.
