Composers
Among the composers of classical music,
I like the ones in the period of
Baroque to Classical most.
One of the reasons that I like
Baroque and Classical composers more
is that the melody is more structured
and clear for me... It's easier to listen to...
(It's my personal point of view, of course...)
Maybe it's because I only listen to classical music
for no more than 5 years, I think.
(That was how I thought 5 years ago. But now I think that's trivial:
the more you listened or learned, the more details you can appreciate.
That's natural to our brain. )
I just can't follow the melody
of contemporary composers...
(The more recent the composer is,
the more difficult for me to understand their music!)
Musicians
This list is by no means exhausted because I cannot remember them all...
There are more excellent musicians than those listed here.
Different musicians perform different musical works
in different ways. So all musicians have their individual
interpretations and point of view...
