Composers you aren't eager to explore yet?

[ChamberNut]

...if for no better reason than....no reason in particular. 

These are two for me:

Puccini
Liszt

[karlhenning]

Oh, this is a frosty thread.

I won't hang here 

[Opus106]

20th Century ones and, just to show off my new vocabulary, those that created A.C., and just C.

[ChamberNut]

Oh, this is a frosty thread.

I won't hang here 

Not quite as bone chilling as your comments on Debussy though.   

[karlhenning]

Hm.  Think I'll open the windows and get rid of some of this drowsy frowst . . . .

[Lethevich]

You sum up my current feelings towards Prokofiev quite well. It's an unusual feeling - I know he's very major, I know he's very good, but there are too many other composers I am interested in to allow a decent investigation of his music, and this will be the case for the foreseeable future...

[Harry]

Does anyone really dare to ask me such questions
All of them I say, excluding Wagner and a few other screamers.
I'll take them all, whatever comes my way I'll explore, I think

How about some cookies and Prokofiev, Sara?  

[Lethevich]

How about some cookies and Prokofiev, Sara?  

Maybe an orange too... ¬____¬

[karlhenning]

Can't eat just one . . . how about three oranges, Sara?

[Harry]

I don't think this thread is frosty at all!

[Harry]

Its about fruit, Russian fruit. 

[Opus106]

Sweet. 

[71 dB]

I'm eager to explore 100 composers at most.
There's thousands and thousands of composers.
So, I'm not eager to explore most composers.

[drogulus]

      I don't know who they are. 

      Yet, what? 

     
      Damn, 71 dB, you ruined my post!

I tried Prokofiev this summer, some symphonies conducted by Neeme Jarvi. I didn't fall in love, so I'm no longer e2e.

[Kullervo]

Stockhausen. I honestly do want to hear his music, but it's too much of a gamble at Stockhausen-Verlag's prices. File under: "one day."

The fault may lie with the conductor, not with the composer.

Just something to consider.

lol

He's recorded so much Prokofiev (and so much in general), that not all of it is going to be good. I saw your review of the CD with the Sinfonietta, Karl, and just by listening to those short Amazon clips, I could tell what you mean. It sounded underreharsed, and the entrances of the instruments were a bit off.

Not quite as bone chilling as your comments on Debussy though.   

Don't you know? Debussy, like white wine, is best served chilled.
