Reader Reviews
Most of this music is totally unpalatable. Most of it sounds like the orchestra tuning up before a performance. I don't wish to slight Maestro Bernstein or the NYPO, which I'm sure perform the music quite well. The problem is the music itself - it's the type of 20TH century music that sounds like composers picked notes at random and made up a score. The final piece by Messiaen was a bit two atonal and "wierd" for me, even though I generally like Messiaen. The only piece I enjoyed was Ligetti's "Atmospheres" and the only reason why I liked that is because of its association with "2001: A Space Odyssey".
