Both great composers. Quite different in style. Chavez is close to Ginastera, neo-classical guy, while Xenakis is an icon of avantgarde.Originally Posted by walt
Panufnik is great, no question about it. I have his Horn Concerto, wonderful music.
The podcast "Relevant Tones" from WFMT has two episodes on current Colombian composers, to wit: Camilo Giraido, Gustavo Parra, Carolina Noguera, Francisco Zumaque, etc. Check it out for free on iTunes.

Alberto Ginastera from Argentina is rather well known. I think Keith Emerson have used several themes of his.
Here is a guy who plays a Emerson adaptation of Creole Dance

Ah - I see Reid mentioned him previously.
Thanks, BrianG, very valuable information.
Ginastera is well known - he is played and recorded. Lots of CDs with his music. Not so with Chavez..he's absolutely rare on records.
Chavez may be rare on records, but I've run across plenty of his music on CD's. I think one or two discs in ASV's Musica Mexicana are devoted solely to him...and he has appearances on several others in the series as I recall. Not too difficult to track those down.

Here is "Phenomenon" from 2004:
Here is "Illuminations", which I was lucky to hear The Colburn School's student orchestra play a couple of months ago:

Ooo how did I miss this...

Here is an orchestral composition by Israel young, female composer Aviya Kopelman:
And this is another composition by Aviya Kopelman, for violin and electronics: Anarchy in a synagogue

From Romania, Enescu....
Another Thai composer, and one of my favorite living composers, is Somtow Sucharitkul (a/k/a science fiction/fantasy/horror writer S.P. Somtow):

He was considered the second Mozart. He was a genius!

Re: Enescu He's probably best known for his violin sonata no. 3. It's a beautiful piece.
