Some really good stuff there. I generally like late classical/romantic (i.e. Beethoven onwards). I'm a choir singer, so here's a couple of things I've actually sung in

Faure - Requiem (so peaceful and elegant)

Verdi - Requiem (an existential battle)

Haydn - The Creation

Just got Kate Bush's new album. A seasonal offering for us Northerners. Her warm voice against a sometimes soothing, sometimes cold background with some close harmonies from time to time.

Ahh, you are interested in classical and baroque music? Cool.

How did you get that they were into Baroque from Richard Strauss, Bizet, Khachaturian and Grieg? Bizet's the oldest of those and he was born more than 80 years after the end of Baroque?

Personally I prefer the Romantic and Impressionist eras (to which many of these no doubt belong). My favourite composers are predominantly late 19th and early 20th Century, and overwhelmingly French - Satie, Debussy, and Ravel in particular.
