    Frank Zappa did some classical pieces. Unfortunately the last time I listened to them I'd gotten quite intoxicated listening to his psychedelic rock stuff (hey, it was college days) so I couldn't really recommend or not.

    Somebody check out http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:20th_century_classical_composers&from=X and see if there's any good stuff.

    Xenakis, La Monte Young, Zappa, and John Zorn are the only names I recognise there.

    So we're onto J then...

    Albinoni — Adagio (bollocks suggestion, I know)

    Xenakis, Yamada, Zemlinsky?

    Can't name anything I'm really fond of by the outer two, but certainly Yamada's symphonic poem Madara no Hana is a piece I like a lot.

    In any case, Kabalevsky: Violin Concerto.
