Philip Glass, Christopher Tin, Yo Yo Ma, Elisabeth Leonskaja, Kaija Saariaho...I can think of only a few modern classical composers and I'm more attuned with pre-1950's classical music. Any suggestions on where to start? I'd love to hear some classical and electronic blends in the vein of Kashiwa Daisuke.

Is Olivier Messiaen considered modern? I can't think of anything more recent than that.

Get some Gustav Holst, Himu:

Edit: Ah, didn't see the "modern" part there. Whatever, listen to Holst anyway.

I listen to all genres. I grew up playing in school band, so I'm fond of orchestrated music because I PLAYED orchestrated music.

BARTOK BARTOK BARTOK (since "modern" in classical still goes back to 1900 or so).

The string quartets or Concerto for Orchestra are the usual starting points.

Bartok? more like Blatok
