So, returning to the original premise of this discussion.... ;D

Like, I'm sure, many of you, I owe much to the generous contributors to this forum, as well as UC and the Soviet composers forum, and I could easily answer this question differently on different days, bur putting it all into the basket and coming up with just one name, I don't think there's any music I've discovered over the past year or so that I've enjoyed more than the symphonies of Mikhail Nosyrev, especially the first.

Please note that I do not consider myself to be a musician, and my responses to the music I love are not necessarily musically well informed, but notwithstanding Nosyrev's rather tragic personal history, I find that there's odten a cartoonish, looney tunes kind of character to some of this music.  There are passages in which I sometimes have visions of Elmer Fudd or Bugs Bunny popping out from behind a bush.  Please note that, bizarre as it may sound, I mean this in a totally positive way.  Nuttiness in music, it seems, is something I appreciate more and more the older I get.   ;)
