Who are the best composers of all time? We asked 174 leading contemporary composers for their choices. We’ve also added in some revealing insights for each composer, courtesy of one of the modern composers who voted for them. Plus, we’ve added in the perfect gateway album for each of the 50. Happy listening! <\/strong><\/p>

Meet our top 50 famous composers, in descending order – do you agree with our choices? And how many of the famous classical composers can you name and recognise?<\/p>
