Bach, Beethoven, Mahler, Strauss, Wagner, Haydn, Shubert, Debussy, Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, and the list goes on.
Yes, not all of these were technically "classical" composers, as there is also baroque, romantic, etc but for some reason it all tends to get lumped together as "classical" nowadays. Romantic and Baroque eras are probably my favorite. Renaissance is good too.

I abhor minimalist "music," if it can even count as such.
