If Haydn and Mozart could see this future they'd at least be astounded by the machine-music of the krautrockers and intelligent dance™ musicians. This music would still relate to them with its impressionism (really, the ability to bring pleasure *despite* lacking compositional rigour), that it actually intends to be pleasurable.
Whereas the Varèse and Stockhausen schools might have rigour (at least, the latter), but they sacrifice pleasure to either futurism or even more ridiculous ideals (just listen to Stockhausen's rant against drug-music).

I want to listen Dvorak what conductor do you recommend for symphonies

Anyone got any "essential" medieval vocal music albums? I'm interested in blokes like Machaut and Dufay but I'm not sure where to begin in terms of recordings

Fuck off, both Haydn and Mozart followed a musical philosophy (a apollinian one, which strived for the Greek concept of beauty) that is in complete contrast with modern music. These are still guys who, when reading scores, look for "errors". I'm pretty sure that they would get annoyed by the meaninglessness of the repetitions and the harmonic/melodic tribalism. Up until the 1950s there is really nonmajor composer who would have supported these movements.
