Yes, I agree. They must also be 'undeservedly neglected' and their music must convey a strong sense of looming catastrophe, culminating in a hopelessly defiant, yet paradoxically redemptive, conclusion.

Well, for me they do!

Harry - Any ballet or operetta composer.  *

Even though most people may associate Harry with Tchaikovsky, I have found it odd that I cannot remember one time where Harry actually listed a Tchaikovsky piece he was listening to in the "What are you listening to?" thread!?

* Or any composer who has released anything on the CPO label.  :D

I always associate Harry with Adolphe Adam. Seems natural, somehow.... ;)
