composers I want to investigate further

[sound67]

Among other things, the list has two out of the three B's. 

And I don't mean Bax.

Ah. How can you have fully investigated a composer you like enough. I don't like Brahms really.

[Henk]

I edited my list, I'm more content with it now. I added many Russian composers (also in the "modern" category), added a category "Russian, poetic style" and renamed the category "outside Europe" into "exotic music".

[71 dB]

Composers I haven't explored too much and would like to investigate further:

Berlioz
Medtner
Mendelssohn

Anyway, right now I am much more into Tangerine Dream and King Crimson.  0:)

[Henk]

Good luck! But please remember that you also wanted to revolutionize Jazz. Have you started learning to play an instrument yet?

I said it was a flush, but now I hear Miles Davis again, I want! And what would become of me if I would not?

[ChamberNut]

Wagner
Saint-Saens
Bartok
Vaughn Williams
Sibelius

Those would probably be my next 5 targets 

[karlhenning]

Excellent list, ChN!

[Opus106]

Wagner

Really? I thought you were well into exploring his music.

Saint-Saens

Definitely give those piano concerti (No. 2, No. 5 Egyptian, and the unnumbered 'African' Fantasy) a listen, and the third VC, too. But I'm pretty certain that his chamber works are pretty close to, if not at the top of your list. Those are works I would also like to listen to.

Yes, I am indeed, but it is still a work in progress.  Now that I have listened to the entire Ring cycle 3 or 4 times, and Parsifal once, I want to do the same for Tristan & Isolde.  And then perhaps Die Miestersinger.

[The new erato]

Jolivet
d'Indy
Ligeti

  OH yes Tristan und Isolde  0:).....such a sublime opera, you know Wagner was one of the last opera composers that I investigated many years ago. Before Wagner I thought Mozart's Don Giovanni and Verdi's Otello were as good as opera got then along came Tristan......and blew those 2 operas away  0:)......oh yes Tristan und Isolde et rien que Tristan und Isolde  0:)....Enjoy!!

Hmm . . . bad salesmanship, Marvin! Enjoy Wagner as much as you please, by all means;  but Tristan blowing either Verdi or Mozart away?  Much as I enjoyed an initial listen to Tristan, I heard no such matter.  Where's the need to kick Verdi and Mozart under the carpet?

It's the Wagner personality doing it.

[Tapio Dmitriyevich]

Well, I will investigate almost any composer further, even the most obvious ones, because only of the least I know almost any output. E.g. there's still Bruckner/2 and Bruckner 9 partially or Mahler/10 on my roadmap. Or Sibelius/6.

I'll once try Karl Amadeus Hartmann, heard nothing of him yet. And most of Shostakovich.

  Yes I am in desperate need of therapy......Hi my name is marvin and I'm a Wagnerholic.

  PS:  For treatment of this sort I heard they charge by the hour  .

Yes, it's a steep price, but at the end you'll be a Verdiholic.

That's what's great about being a therapist.  One addiction gets replaced by another, and the therapist takes home all the money.
