No mention of Mozart yet! I've also been into Rachmaninoff since I was 12 and looked like young David Helfgott at the beginning of "Shine."

First time commenting. I'm a big fan of Brahms, Dvorak (No. 9 specifically), anything by Mahler, Mendelssohn, Paganini, Saint-Saens, Shostakovich, and Wagner.

Beethoven's 9'th... that get's me through the maddening traffic on the 405 on my way to school.. without it, I'd probably go crazy.

Chopin, hands down. But I notice someone has mentioned Duke Ellington, can't go wrong with him :]

satie is good! but i'd have to say j.s. bach for me. though that clip was impressive, i doubt he would take me away from my ultimate idiophone crush, andrei pushkarev on the vibes. his variations on bach's inventions...mmmmm

Chopin is definiately my favorite composer, with Leonard Bernstein, being a close second.

I love listening to Gershwin. Just hearing the opening to Rhapsody in Blue gives me the chills. And the bando in me just loves a Sousa march or one of Holst's Suites for Band.

Oh, nothing gets me going like a good Leonard Bernstein composition!

sibelius is my favorite too! i first heard his work at a free daytime concert at WDCH, and fell for it hard. had to go out and buy a cd of finlandia soon afterwards. it may have even been later that same day. the marimba clip is absolutely amazing.

Jean Sibelius is definitely my current favorite. I just found Finlandia on vinyl! Going to this concert would be sweet, especially since I used to play percussion and its a day after my birthday.

That clip is blowing my mind. On one end of the spectrum, Mal Waldron. On the other, Gustav Mahler. I would be hard pressed to chose between the two.

Phillip Glass, especially in Koyaanisqatsi

Zach Behrens and Arvo Part?? *swoon* Let's try Philip Glass operas, Shostakovich Symphonies and Stravinsky chamber music. For more Marimba goodness, try albums "Marimba When" and "Bach on Marimba."
