Since I was a teenager I have been listening to Vivaldi. My favorites are his compositions for Mandolin. I like Beethoven's music, especially his Symphony No. 9 (if any work is my all-time favorite this would be it). My most recent discovery has been Mahler. His Symphony No. 1 is absolutely fantastic. Another very good composer I have been listening to of late is Schumann. I first heard his Symphony No. 3 at a live performance and immediately went out and bought a copy.
