Re: Crystal Ball(s)

Robin,

György Ligeti (and Olivier Messiaen, for that matter) would have certainly been on my list had they not done us the tremendous disservice of dying.

I agree with you that judgements of this sort are usually made with 20/20 hindsight, but certain composers have an undeniable buzz around them today. Our crystal ball gazing is to identify which ones the neu Mendelssohn might "re-discover" and why...(?)

Best,
EC
