As i am much of an music aficionado i can say that i listen to many different styles, and as a reviewer i get a lot of records.
In the field of classical and art music i like compositors like:
- Johann Sebastian Bach (Much of the pianostuff but also the cellosonatas and churchmusic)
- Palestrina (The master of choral music, especially the more complex stuff like his pieces for 18 voices)
- Ottorino Resphigi (I just cant get enough of symphonical poems like the pines of rome)
- Brahms (Ive been a fan of him since i worked a lot with the Heisenberg ensemble)
- Claude Debussy (Painting with music)
- Philip Glass
- Steve Reich
- Händel (I love his work Messiah)
- Vangelis
- Karl Jenkins
- Åke Parmerud (Swedish tapemusic)
- Ariel Ramirez (La Huida)
- Mussgorsky (I love the recording of pictures at an exhibition that Staffan Scheja did on POLAR, same record company as Abba, LP only)
