Leos Janacek, especially Sinfonietta and Danses Lachiennes, for reasons I can't fully explain due to not being someone who understands why some musical things stand out as interesting or different. Maybe I agree with Wikipedia that His work is tonal, although it employs a vastly expanded view of tonality, and is marked by unorthodox spacings, often making use of modality.
Henry Purcell, because his work is just beautiful.
