Yanni? That's more New Age than Classical, ain't it? :P
Personally, I love Philip Glass as a contemporary Classical composer. His music has this ominous, nervous feeling to it which appeals to me a lot. Other composers (which are still alive) worth mentioning are Henryk Gorecki (Symphony No. 3) and Arvo Part.

1) Stravinsky, Denisov, Webern, Schnittke, Varese, Shostakovich, and the occasional Copland piece. 2) Stravinsky - Rite of Spring; Denisov - Sun of the Incas, Peinture; Webern - op. 18, 21, 24, 28, Schnittke - Requiem; Varese - Octandre, Integrales; Shostakovich - Symphony #8, 10, 24 Preludes and Fugues; Copland - Symphony #3 (I'm a sucker) 3) Bruckner wrote great choral music but should have never written anything for orchestra. Ugh. BQ) Pretty good, thanks.

Those aren't classical composers. My favorite composers are Shostakovich and Bartok.

John Williams. I know that he does movie scores, but his music is wonderful to listen to all by itself...

Definitely Shostakovich. He was making fractal-sounding music before anybody had any idea what fractal music was.
