It was just brought to my attention- TAKEMITSU ftw- hands down, there IS NO Composer even close. For those of you who picked Debussy, keep in mind that takemitsu is Debussy with ALL the testosterone drained out. Takemitsu's Your Man.

Satie definitely not. Debussy and Delius indeed. Albinoni. Bach's Goldberg Variations.

I agree with Feldman as well, in the most positive sense.

I think you have missed the "Zen factor" in his works.

With meditation one doesn't get into Zen. With Takemitsu one does.

... but who wants mellow when you can get edgy?
Es wollt ein meydlein grasen gan:
Fick mich, lieber Peter!
Und do die roten röslein stan:
Fick mich, lieber Peter!
Fick mich mehr, du hast dein ehr.
Kannstu nit, ich wills dich lern.
Fick mich, lieber Peter!

Can't comment on Finzi's music, but I respectfully disagree about Brahms 3; only the very ending is mellow.  (But many conductors take the first movement too slow for my tastes; it is Allegro con brio, after all.)
