Wanted. Dead or Alive.
Contemporary Classical Composers - new discoveries
I’ll start with my most recent discovery…Valentin Silvestrov. I’ve been going thru some of this Ukrainian composer’s work and I have to say I’m impressed.
Highly recommend to check out the following albums a starting point…
What are some of your favorites?

@mahler123 we may be missing out so let’s not worry about that criteria. The thread has evolved beyond it and I think it’s great. I’m familiar with Philip Glass’ work and wanted to give him another chance thinking it’s been years and may be something changed in me and I will love it. He’s still not one of my favorites although I admire the minimalist style and don’t hate it. Just don’t love it. |
@mahgister I’ll get back to you with my thoughts on your recommendations in about 6 months 😂 |
@mahler123 good question. Hit us with a recommendation for a contemporary (currently living) composer. |
@czarivey looks like it might take few attempts to get into Nyman. |
