I also have a high regard for Valentin Silvestrov. Romantic and modern at the same time.

How do you/we categorize Ola Gjeilo?

Ola Gjeilo has long been on my list of favourites on streaming services, and I also have CDs of him.

I would describe his music as ethereal, cinematic and meditative. He mixes elements of classical, contemporary and popular music, which makes it easily accessible even if you are not so familiar with 'serious' contemporary classic - a kind of easy listening.

Just as a note to those who might be interested, not a recommendation: Thomas Bangalter (formerly of Daft Punk) is about to release the album "Mythologies" with orchestral music within a couple of days. Three pieces are already available on youtube.

Douglas J Cuomo - and yes, he wrote music for shows like "Sex and the City"
