How to pronounce: Names of 20 classical music composers

This is my attempt to pronounce the names of some famous music composers (in non-North-American way). I hope it helps for those who find their names too confusing.

Music:
JOHANNES BRAHMS Double Concerto in A minor Op.102 - 2. Andante


[Disclaimer: I don't own the music or any of these pictures]

I cant pronounce I'm American, just kidding, but I seriously cant pronounce this, I mostly end up spitting and it gets really disgusting.

Some observations:

Händel is mispronounced. You pronounced "Handel" and not "Händel", the "ä" sounds like "e" in German.

Chopin, in polish, is not like in french. The "i" is like in german and the tonic is in the "o", so it sounds like "chópin" (it ressembles the english word shopping).

The emphasized "o" in russian sounds like the german "a", so it is like "Shastakovich". I'm not sure, but I also think the tonic is in the "ko" and not in the "ta".
