Here is a list of my favorite composers to give you an idea of what composers I like:
Shostakovich, Bartók, Prokofiev, Vaughan Williams, Ravel, Villa-Lobos, Koechlin, Stravinsky, Debussy, Britten, Revueltas, Ginastera, Somers, Dutilleux, Tippett, Tubin, Ives, Sculthorpe, Milhaud, Myaskovsky, Szymanowski, Honegger, Janáček, Sibelius, Berg, Pärt, Martinů, Rubbra, Poulenc, Broadstock (a new favorite), Nielsen, W. Schuman, Copland, Barber, Casella, Schoenberg (pre-12 tone works), Adams, Lindberg, Salonen, Ligeti, Varese, Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, Enescu, Langgaard, and Arnold.
In that case, we (sorry for interfering :-)) at least share a love for: Shosta, Bartók, RVW, Ravel, Villa-Lobos, Stravinsky, Debussy, Ginastera, Dutilleux, Tippett, Tubin, Szymanowski, Honegger, Janáček, Pärt, Martinů, Rubbra, Nielsen, Barber, Casella, Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, Enescu, Langgaard, Arnold.
And I cannot say I dislike any of the dozen or so other names in your list. Yet, one of my personal favourites - fitting nicely in this company I'd say - is Vagn Holmboe. :D
Oh yes, Cato, I knew you liked Holmboe's music a lot. Didn't you say you've met him before? I think I remember you saying this on GMG. There's so much great music out there, but there's a lot of music that I just don't care for, but it's this way with everyone one.
