Ed,

Great videos! The Turangalîla-Symphonie is one of my favorite orchestral works. Koussevitzky's plea still rings true today and I think it segued very well into Salonen's introduction. His musical expectations were built almost completely on the Romantic (and pre-Romantic) tradition, but his ears were open enough to let Messiaen's music captivate him. A lesson to the rest of us?
