Richard Wagner
Wagner's most famous work is The Ring Cycle. The entire opera, which is made up by four operas (sort of like the Lord of the Rings, The Matrix or Star Wars is made up of separate movies), is nearly 18 hours long.

Gustav Mahler
Mahler's symphonies are among my favorite. He takes the romantic style to the next level. His symphonies were adopted by the younger crowd in the 1960's and 70's because the music matched their passion and intensity.

Vivaldi, a braoque composer, composed over 500 concertos. His most famous works is The Four Seasons.
