I confess I was concerned when I didn't hear any mention of this for a while. As you know, this review probably solicited the judgments of some characters who had to swallow hard to overcome their echt-academic musical prejudices. As has been remarked* recently about Boulez for example, he is smiling and affable these days, but has never abandoned his agenda about the future of music (or at least any music he views as worthy of consideration). *(I paraphrase here with undoubtedly wild inaccuracies but I hope preserving the gist).
