Camille Saint Saens, Mozart, Beethoven, Alfred Reed, Tartini, John Williams, Chopin, Stravinsky, Pablo de Sarasate, Henryk Wieniawski, and David Holsinger. I'll be nice and just leave it at that.

Experience has taught me that interest begets expectation, and expectation beget disappointment, so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest. A equals B equals C Equals A, or whatever. I also don't have a lot of interest in being a good person or a bad person. From what I can tell, either way, you're screwed. Bad people are punished by society's laws, and good people are punished by Murphy's Law

haven't really heard a lot of classical music tbh. I do like Saint-Saens' Danse Macabre though.

Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart, Albinoni, Barber, Verdi, Strauss (Jr, mainly), ... As for performers, I'm partial to anything Sir Neville Marriner decides to conduct.

^yeah the piano stuff is pretty cool.

So for me Beethoven, Chopin, Shostakovich, Handel, Holst, Brahams, Mozart, Philip Glass, Barber (Adagio for Strings) - Just stuff I've stumbled across, mainly from film scores.
Rachmaninov's Piano concerto no. 3 is one of my favourites.

I don't KNOW many classical musicians by name
(except Yo-Yo Ma, which I just can't forget).

As to composers, Wagner, Bach, and Beethoven
are probably my favorites. Though, Orf, deserves a special
place for Carmina Burana alone. Sibelius and Tchaikovsky deserve
special mention, as well.
