Any particular works of theirs you love? While I love the sound of Brahms whenever I hear it, especially his symphonies, his piano work -- especially the ballades and quintets -- is exciting and satisfying. And, with Tchaikovsky I simply can't pick favorites. The guy was fantastic, top to bottom, and I don't think I've ever heard any of his music I didn't like.
