I am very keen to find out which 20th century composers have written beautiful, listenable music of a very high calibre, music of real genius, comparable to that by Mozart and Beethoven. It does not have to be music written in a style imitating the classical epoch, but it surely must be tonal, diatonic, and melodious.
I am nearly always dissapointed when I take the courage to listen to 20th century 'contemporary classical music'. But there must be some good stuff out there! Is there anyone out there in blog-land who can point me to the listenable 20th century composers and their music?
Over to you.....

Hi Victor. I like your blog. I had a look at your website too and All About Fine Music. Your articles seem to be carefully thought out,not offensive to non classical lovers however make your point. The links to midi music examples worked well. A number of links to other parts of your site are not working as you probably know. I have no knowledge of contemporary classical music. One interesting point is that it seems the two most famous finalists from England's current talent show are both opera singers or sing in the operatic style.
