Oh, er, I don't know what to say
Not very good at being put on the spot!
I am listening to the awesome Et In Terra Pax from Bach’s Mass in B Minor as I type this. Classical music has a slightly disconcerting propensity to make me cry. And I spent half an hour earlier trawling Youtube for Sylvie McNair performances after being moved to something-in-my-eye by her performance on Mozart’s Mass in C Minor.
Niche interest? Sorry about that :)

I LOVEEEE
Mozart. I don’t have a lot of knowledge about Classical music, but I love listening to it. For some reason I feel like there’s so much more emotional range to classical music than there is in any other genre

Sure.
I’m just explaining myself. Here is something that I don’t like by Mozart. Here is something that I like by Prokofiev. Both sonatas that, I think, are indicative of what I like of one and dislike of the other.

Mozart does not suck on any level. No matter what Salieri said.

There are correct opinions, and then there are opinions like this. Petruschka? Les Noces? The Firebird?
You must not be a fan of the ballet, he was riveting in his works for that, although seriously, they are meant to be seen with dancers, so just listening to them without the stage context won’t give you a complete picture. The Rake’s Progress is a pretty fantastic opera, too.
I was joking
in my comment about Stravinsky sucking. I was hoping that would come through. And I do enjoy the ballet. But again I prefer it small quantities.

Bach and Mozart are hardly niche interests.
I tend to like more recent compositions by people that are still breathing, but those two still get performed, recorded and listened to for a reason.
Not niche exactly

I wonder if I posted after going to see Ligeti's Grand Macabre?

Ligeti's awesome, in almost every way.
And his son Lukas’s work with the Marimba Lumina is pretty awesome in all the other ways.
Pretty sure several of the pages of the score of the Ligeti were like
“Pick any note you like, make sure none is the same pitch or length as the previous, and just have fun”

Prokofiev is my favorite composer.
Mozart has brilliant moments, but he also has a lot of crap. This is what happens when you have 600 or so compositions. I find too may of his pieces formulaic, and played mechanically without a lot of emotion.

His operas are almost universally brilliant.
Many of his chamber works are also outstanding, especially those for winds. I’d agree that his first 38 symphonies are a bit repetitive, formulaic and dull for the most part, but his last three and what he did on the Requiem mass are awesome.
that was talking about Mozart, btw, not Prokofiev.
I like Prokofiev a lot, too. Not my fave, but probably in my top ten.
Prokofiev isn't really hailed by critics,
but he’s played all the time now. In 100 years he’ll probably be even more highly regarded.
My top five are probably: Prokofiev, Webern, Bach, Bartok, Debussy.
I like contemporary composers as well though.

Alright, you've explained why you don't like Mozart, so what's your beef with Stravinsky?
And maybe I should ask about Ravel, too, as the composers you’ve listed would seem to indicate that you’d have a high opinion of both, and Stravinsky’s so monumental with regard to the shape of 20th century composition that I think it would be hard to exclude him from a top five list like this.
I like Stravinsky. I find Ravel a bit boring.
I am a jazz guy. I listened to nothing but jazz and my parents’ oldies when I was a child. I didn’t listen to rock or popular music until I was an adolescent. This wasn’t out of sheltering, but out of odd musical taste for a precocious kid.
I still relate all music to jazz. Jazz has two key components that I look for in all music—unexpectedness and emotional impact. You can feel the soul of a good jazz musician through their interpretation of a song. You are also surprised and delighted by a unique turn from the improvisation on a typical theme by a great musician. As the world comes closer together, and all types of music proliferate to a point that it is difficult to truly create something new, these two factors are even more important in my musical tastes.
Applying these standards to classical music, to me, the five composers listed, with the possible exception of Bach, each have a high degree of unexpectedness and emotional impact in their compositions. I like Bach because he tends to be played in a manner that allows musicians to do unexpected things and inject a lot of emotional impact into their performances.
Ravel lacks that surprise for me. He plays too much within set forms. Debussy did this, but then when strikingly jump out of a form within a composition.
Stravinsky is good. He just doesn’t stay with me like the five listed above. Shostakovich is like that with me too. I like him, but he doesn’t stay with me as much.
Remember, I’m an amateur here. These are all my impressions. My analyses may be completely wrong academically.

His operas with Da Ponte are universally brilliant.
It’s hit or miss for me outside of those four or five. It’s really personal taste though. As I mentioned too, half of it is that his works are often played so poorly. I think musicians like them because of their technical aspects, but they focus on that and completely suck any feeling out of the music.

I'll agree with this,
I also think that there’s an issue that Mozart’s art (as with many, if not most long dead composers) is mostly no longer relevant to contemporary audiences outside its purely aesthetic qualities, and outside the operas, where contemporary touches can be added through staging and direction, musicians can’t seem to revitalize this in the same way that say many of Shakespeare’s plays have been, so the music often tends to have a stuffy museum quality to it. It’s sort of akin to the paintings of a William Turner or Thomas Gainsborough’s in that respect, where the technical mastery is evident, but the artistic relevance will be lost on contemporary non-academic lay audiences.
Have you ever heard
what Gary Burton and Makato Ozone have done with classics? I think you would enjoy their modern takes on them.

Agreed
This is their second album, and I think it’s going to be a lot of them trying to find their sound instead of just replicating the vibe of their first album (which is awesome). They tend to err on the side of “throw as many instruments and sounds into the picture”, which is frustrating because their simpler songs are usually their better ones.
