For me also Wagner and Mahler. Love Beethoven’s chamber music but not his Symphonies (sorry).
Brahms, Faure, Mendelssohn, Frank are also in my favorites.

Hmmm...so funny you mention this about Beethoven. I listened to all his symphonies as a teenager and loved them; as I aged, I shed almost all of them (I still listen to his first and last). His piano sonatas and string quartets I NEVER tire of...and yet...and yet...sitting in the Multiplex last week watching The King's Speech, towards the end of the movie I hear the second movement of his Seventh Symphony. It was like I never heard it before...
