Even Pli selon pli?

I don't know if I actively dislike any composer.  Sorabji may come closest, but I don't actively dislike his work so much as find its absurdity amusing.

People would rather believe than know - E.O. Wilson

Funny to think it now, but at first the symphonies of both Nielsen and Vaughan Williams left me cold. Musical dislike is not forever.

I would think that it would be... the Antartica symphony that would leave you cold.  Badum ching! 8)

Quite true. I was rather indifferent to Penderecki, Gubaidulina and Schnittke at various points. Proud to say this has past!

I appreciate the sober, measured remark, which is entirely in character!
