I also saw his Ma Mère L'Oye with CSO last week. It was beautiful with lots of textures and colours coming through in lush orchestration but Salonen kept a relative cool in emotional department. I still prefer Stan's long lovely build to the finale. Plus, he decided to play the original piano versions with a missing tune and several Preludes and they were out of sequence. So the program felt a bit incomplete.
Salonen and Skrowaczewski have a very different style and personality in that not sure if Salonen ever make music like Stan.
I enjoyed the Chicago premier of L'enfant et les sortilèges. That was terrific.
I also like my *hi-rez* version. Which is a Vox box 4LP ( Sansui Quad ) set. :)
