How about yours?

Good night from Germany,
Christian

Too lazy to count (and the count wouldn't impress anybody) but the composers currently in my CD collection, in no particular order, are Walton, Vaughan Williams, Rawsthorne, Alwyn, Bax, Doyle, Giacchino, Rozsa, A. Newman, T. Newman, Rota, Barry, Zhao, Herrmann, Friedhofer, Waxman, Sarde, Bernstein, Gowers, Goldsmith, Folk, Desplat, Hisaishi, Williams, Howard, Shire, Shore, Morris, Glass, Arriagada, Jarre, Robbins, Delerue, Preisner, Portman, Illarramendi, and Burwell. (And I'm probably forgetting a few one-offs, and this doesn't include compilations containing composers not named here.) Most by one composer: 26.

I sold off a lot of CDs several years ago so this is sort of the kernel of my old collection. (Composers no longer in my collection include Morricone, Poledouris, C. Young, V. Young, and many others...)
