I'm going to fire quite a few additions into this mix. All of these are current composers and I'd highly recommend seeking their music out, and watching live if you have the opportunity.
I've picked out some choice cuts from each as a taster:
Max Richter - http://soundcloud.co...hter/5-sarajevo
Dustin O'Halloran - http://soundcloud.co...loran/8-opus-55
Olafur Arnalds - http://soundcloud.co...r-arnalds/lj-si
Johan Johannsson - http://soundcloud.co...ohannsson-glima
Hauschka - http://soundcloud.co...eign-landscapes
...and I almost forgot, Chilly Gonzales! http://soundcloud.com/chillygonzales/othello-from-solo-piano-ii
