I would greatly appreciate any help with contemporary (20-21st century) classical music. At this point my favorites are: Alfred Shnittke, Arvo Part, Steve Reich. Glass, Adams, Xenakis are not in that heavy rotation. Tried Shoenberg and Stockhousen, so far they are beyond my understanding.
Wow!!! Thank you guys! Thanks for such a great response. I'll try to pick as many as I can. Some titles I aready have, so if you guys don't mind, I'm going to share some impressions to more properly defy my sphere of interest at this moment.
I got the Ligeti Works from Sony, box set. Chamber Music, Strings, piano and mechanical music are great! Opera and the vocals are not just my cup of tea. It matter of personal taste and has nothing to do with great composer.
