My father loooooves Shostakovich, but I would go for Mahler.Periodista : A proposito del escudo de la fe, Elisa, a mà me sorprendÃa Reutemann diciendo que estaba dispuesto a enfrentarse con el mismÃsimo demonio (Menem) y después terminó bajándose de la candidatura. Ahà parece que fuera ganando el demonio.

Wasn't Rachmaninov 20th century? If so then he gets my vote. Of those listed I went with Orff, 'cause he's got one of the coolest names ever.<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures

Uh, where is Rachmaninov? Vaughn Williams? Copland? Gershwin?
I assume you meant Webern, not Weber.
Schoenberg is missing! He was certainly the most influential of the New Vienna School composers. Also absent are Bernstein (!), Ives (!), Barber, Puccini (he didn't die until 1924), Hindemith, Honegger, Scriabin (for the loonies!), Respighi, Milhaud, Gorecki, Janacek, Kodaly, Menotti, Ginestra and Rodrigo.
And John Williams, of course.
I voted for Mahler, although Bartok and Prokofiev are greats. However, of all of those I listed, Bernstein and Williams have the most enduring popularity, due to their writing for more popular forms of entertainment (musicals and movies).Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

WHERE IS THE BANANA CHOICE IN THE POLL!!!

If you're gonna include John Williams, where do you draw the line? People like Lalo Schifrin or Bernard Hermann did much better film scores, sure they didn't use a standard symphony orchestra but that's hardly an adequate delimiter.
And why hasn't anyone mentioned Karlheinz Stockhausen yet?Världsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän

Gershwin/Copland/Bernstein... that would make the poll a lot harder for me to chose from, and would be force to chose Ludwig van Banana.Comment

Williams should be considered out of sheer prolificness, popularity and recognizeability. I think it's probably indisputable that Williams' scores are the best-known film music of the later 20th Century. When you consider the ubiquitousness of his music from Star Wars, Jaws, E.T, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Close Encounters, etc., it's rather amazing that he has come up with such memorable music. He may not be the most artsy-fartsy composer around, but neither were a lot of those on the list. He would be in the "populist" category of composers, like Verdi.
In terms of great film score composers, however, I don't think anyone holds a candle to Prokofiev. "Alexander Nevsky" is breathtaking.Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment
