I'm a huge fan of the Romanticist movement, so Liszt, Beethoven, Chopin, Schubert, Schumann, and yes even Wagner, but I also adore that Russian sound, so Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, and Mussorgky (Night on Bald Mountain, anyone?). While Rachmaninoff is extremely talented, I never cared for him as much as the above people. I do enjoy listening to him on occasion.

Can't top Bach.

No need to apologize for liking Wagner, he is one of the best after all. I was also listening to some Tchaikovsky today and really liked it. I'll have to check out some of the other Russian composers.o.pwuaioc wrote:I'm a huge fan of the Romanticist movement, so Liszt, Beethoven, Chopin, Schubert, Schumann, and yes even Wagner, but I also adore that Russian sound, so Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, and Mussorgky (Night on Bald Mountain, anyone?).

Russian classical music is far and away my favorite, especially when it is driven by piano. You should check out Shostakovich, Mussorgsky, Prokofiev, Rubinstein, and Stravinsky as well.saturnfan wrote:No need to apologize for liking Wagner, he is one of the best after all.
