As far as "classical" music is concerned, I really like all composers starting with a B except Bruch. Bach JS/CPE, Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner, Berg, Bartok, Bernstein.
Genre wise, I'm not too much into the classical classical (Mozart, Haydn) with exceptions. I love the old renaissance and baroque stuff, Monteverdi's Vespers, Haendel Operas, Bach St Matthew's passion, the Passacaglia, the Goldberg variations. Then I start to like it again starting from the early romantic period, and I count Beethoven as an exception. And then all the way through the 1940s, as my avatar indicates.
In the romantic period, it's Schumann's violin concerto in particular I find incredibly beautiful, majestic and terribly sad at the same time
But I'm also partial to Bruckner's 5th and 8th symphonies and Brahms' first.
