Remembering the great Maurizio Pollini
Legendary pianist Maurizio Pollini defined modern piano playing through a combination of virtuosity of the highest degree, a complete sense of musical purpose and commitment that works in complete control of the virtuosity. His passing was announced by Milan’s La Scala opera house on March 23. Read more >>

I think the criteria by which to judge a composer are pretty simple, in essence - in no particular order....

Can make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up now and then;

Doesn't sound like anyone else - recognisable personal style;

Leaves you mentally replaying the tunes for hours, even days, afterwards.

Then there's the question of taste. I would have to accept that Andrew Lloyd Webber passes all those tests (sometimes, at least!) but I still don't like his schtick.

So does mika  lol :P

No offense, but this list sounds about as un-fun as classical music can get.

Dear god, not Glass! Why not also nominate Vangelis and Tony Banks!

Gorecki's work of late amounts to a resounding disqualification from even a top-20 list of today's finest living composers. The 3rd string quartet was the last straw and one of the worst wastes of $15.00 I remember from the past few years. Drone-dee-drone-drone-drone-drone-"oh so profound!"-drone.

Rautavaara is great, but I don't think he belongs in my top 5. He isn't really innovative in any way. His music is just very attractive.


It is not all about innovation. Rautvaara's music has a very intangible depth to it . (In my opinion).

Well, yes, but he doesn't match the "intangible depth" of the composers I had picked previously. Also, the composers I picked both have innovation and "intangible depth". I think Rautavaara's student Kalevi Aho is much better than him, personally. They share a common language (to some extent), but Aho is not afraid to come out of his bubble, whereas Rautavaara can be too much of a one trick pony.

I like Alpher very much. He's virtually unknown, I find it to be an amazing coincidence we've both heard of him. His music isn't the usual modern music but he does it in a way that's extremely effective.

David Alpher is an American composer. A lot of his music takes influence from modern jazz and blues. He studied piano under Manehem Pressler at Indiana University where he graduated with high honers. for more information visit here: https://www.davidalpher.com/

Yeah, I agree with these statements. Rautavaara doesn't really warrant a top 5 rating. His student Kalevi Aho, while still in the Rautavaara vein a bit, is more original, daring, and attractive at the same time. Salonen is still a bit too conservative for my tastes, but his new Violin Concerto (premiered in April) made me reconsider him as a great of our time. I really like Saariaho as another great Finn of our time, and I consider her one of the more original voices. Knussen is one I haven't really learned to appreciate much yet, but i recognize the man's originality and talent.

by that do you mean he is more experimental and explores different harmonies, instrumentation etc...? If so I agree even though I prefer Rautavaara.

Louis Andriessen
William Bolcom
Elliott Carter
James MacMillan
Krzysztof Penderecki

Honorable mentions: Thomas Adès, Kalevi Aho, George Crumb, Steven Mackey, Einojuhani Rautavaara, Peter Sculthorpe, Carl Vine, and the list can go on and on...

There are no hard and fast rules for a composer to be "great", and there really aren't any such rules in music. However, for purposes of argument, I think a composer should have some sort of component of originality, an ability to communicate his or her thoughts with his audience effectively, and should be enjoyable to listen to. Paul McCartney is a great musician, but not classical (this is a predominately classical forum). John Williams is a film composer. He has composed some wonderful film music. However, his concert music is atrocious. It lacks the three "criteria" that I mentioned (nevermind the arbitrariness of my "criteria", for it's only for purposes of argument). The same goes for Howard Shore. His opera "The Fly" was an absolute travesty. I couldn't stop laughing at it's awfulness when I heard it. However, he is a great film composer. And here at this forum, we focus on concert music (mainly because it is a reproducible art, hence the term). When one considers all this, and all of the composers that are still alive, it is hard for one to list composers such as John Williams, Howard Shore, Ennio Morricone, etc alongside the many excellent composers of concert music (such as the ones I have mentioned).

It is only implied. If another form of music were predominant, then the appearance of the forum would be different, but concert music is what most people talk about here. It is the musical version of the lingua franca here, if you will. I didn't say that other idioms are inherently inferior, but it is just what most people prefer (including me).

This is a most difficult questiuon to asnwer, since the "right" place of any composer in history usually only emerges after said composer has become history (i.e. has died). The only still living composer who is also already part of history is, I think, Elliott Carter. John Adams is the most performed living composer, although that has proven to be not always indicative about the "furture history" of composers.

A very tentative and extremely incomplete (probably) list of XXth Century composers who may be still well known in, say 300 years time (assuming humanity hasn't managed to obliterate itself by then). Some al already dead a while, so the list is not entirely a la manière de titre

Elliot Carter
Maxwell Davies
Olivier Messiaen
Dmitri Shostakovitch
Hans Werner Henze

Kaikhosru Sorabji

Luciano Berio

Michale Jackson may also still be know then; after all the plague has also not been forgotten yet, after several centuries for simmilar reasons... ;)

It ain't necessarily so (I know that this is a song by a dead composer, but...); "top five" living composers doesn't necessarily have to signify individual preference - it can just as easily be the five living composers anyone might consider to be the most significant. One's own preferences (in terms of the top five living composers whose music one likes best) tell others only what those preferences are; one's estimation of the top five most important living composers, whilst still a personal opinion, need not be restricted by the extent to which one may or may not care to listen to their music - it's more of a value judgement.

Mine? Difficult question to answer. Carter, Boulez, Dutilleux - er -

Agreed. But the nuances can't make for the lack of emotion. I have not been familiarized with enough of his music to know if the depth can make up for it.

Agreed. But the nuances can't make for the lack of emotion. I have not been familiarized with enough of his music to know if the depth can make up for it.

You should listen to more of his music. It is very deep and compelling. I don't think everyone would like it though.
