Beethoven for me, not much of a surprise.  Although if I had to go my whole life without hearing Mozart again....

Dude, I can fit 4 GB of mp3s on an SD card the size of my thumbnail, can't we negotiate something?  ;D
The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

-- William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

Am i allowed to choose a conductor instead of a composer?

If so, it would be the whole Celibidache discography on EMI. 0:)

That's cheating. Only Dittersdorf for you!  $:)

QuoteMN Dave

If you could only take the complete works of one composer with you to that proverbial desert island to listen to exclusively for the rest of your days, which one would you choose?

Beethoven.

Mine is Chopin, but it's not my fault that he didn't produce more  >:D

Yeah, right, lazy bastard! ;D

Hans Huber!

No, only joking, although I could play ducks and drakes with the CDs and swim out afterwards to retrieve them...or not, maybe.

Difficult question.

Therefore, no idea.

Verdi, perhaps, or Berlioz or Massanet or...

For me it would be Bachoven.

*points to his own avatar*

Although if it were certain that there would be no hope for salvation, or that I was the last person on earth, I'd take Bruckner.

We can share an island.

Says a lot about vandermolen that in that case you would consider it still an deserted island.  ;D

Well if we end up eating each other it'll be a desserted island. <rimshot>

I might have said Ives had he composed more pieces... Might have to go for a boring option like Beethoven or Bach who combine both quality and quantity.
