Classical Listeners, what is good these days?

I had to pull myself away from classical and Renaissance periods. I found a Benjamin Britten streaming station. I think its advanced into later periods enough that I will enjoy it. Today I listened to Faure and Holst.

I don't know Britten and Faure and Holst, glad to build my listening.

you're asking the wrong generation.

Are you sure, there are 5 generations represented on lichess?

Well what’s always been good ...... Bach Handel Mozart Vivaldi Beethoven.......xxx

@morphyms1817 Of the ones you mentioned I've only listen to Holst ( the planets). I do like The Four Seasons, Vivaldi. The precision and structure of Chopin and Mozart I also appreciated.
One piece I really liked involved the orchestra replicating the sound of an old man snoring and I can't for the life of me recall the composor ,maybe someone out there knows. It was the only piece of classical music that ever made me laugh.

Tchaikovsky is also worth listening to. (The Russian ballet and opera in general are great.) And the Italian opera around 1900 comes to mind. (One of my favorites is Puccini's La Bohème.)

Thank you for suggestion of the Italian composers. I have enjoyed works of Liszt that I heard.

I personally love Prokofiev and really liked Orff's Carmina Burama, although unfortunately since I found out more about his politics it has spoilt it for me:(
Even newer stuff I really like things like Classical Gas or even River flows in you, but i guess they would not be regarded as strictly classical by many.
For that matter I love a lot of the musical scores for movies such as the score for October Sky or many of the Star Trek movies (first contact is particularly good), and the original Battlestar Galactica.

This is the fourth and final act of the opera-ballet " Les Indes galantes" (Les Gallantes de Indias) by composer Jean-Philippe Rameau. The premiere took place in 1735 in Paris.

And this is how it looks in a modern production:

Here the level is too low.

And here is concert performance:
