Thanks for the lively + informative report. I've always found Messiaen a "small doses" kind of composer, but will definitely take a new listen to 'Harawi.' And it's definitely true about Muhly's dept to Adams, which I'm sure he's openly acknowledged.
Am I the only person who doesn't think that all of Haydn sounds the same? It all sure sounds like Haydn, but it doesn't sound the same, if you see what I mean. I am contemplating spending all of November 5th playing the complete Haydn piano sonatas, all three volumes, as a defensive measure, since I surely can't handle the anxiety of keeping up with the news of the day!
