I haven't really scratched the surface here but I'm looking for two opposed sounds. Can anybody recommend me anything brooding, jarring, and unsettling like Ligeti - Requiem, Penderecki - Hiroshima or Olivier Messiaen's Complete Organ. On the flipside, I'm also looking for stuff that is light, breezy, and maybe a touch melodramatic. Eminence Symphony Orchestra doing songs from Shinkai movies is the only reference point I can give to that end. Any help would be appreciated, I find classical intensely inaccessible.

Matthias Pintscher's music is fantastic

For lighter stuff...maybe like Nico Muhly and those kind of downtown-y composers? It's unsubstantial, bordering on gimmicky, to my ears but in any case:
