Iestyn Davies, Samuel Boden, Hugo Hymas
Just like Purcell, Beethoven or Schubert, Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625) was also a brilliant composer, although such analogies are difficult because his music is relatively rarely performed compared to the mentioned musical geniuses.

The best composers in music history, as Fretwork impressively demonstrates here.
