You're right - people's tastes are unpredictable

I think I've told this story before about the guy in my office who was kind of an audiophile and had never heard Dvorak's New World Symphony. I recommended the Jarvi/Cincinnati on Telarc because I think at the time it might have been the only one available on SACD. A few days later, I asked him how he liked it, and he replied, "Well, I thought the Dvorak was kind of corny - but I really liked that Martinu symphony!" (The Martinu Symphony No. 2 was the "filler" on that recording.)



Regarding Mr. Magnus Lindberg, again, I have only one recording: Lisa's sterling Sony release of the Lindberg Violin Concerto - and because I've been able to play it and listen to it more than once, I've reached more of an accommodation with it. The same thing might happen if I listened repeatedly to one of Saariaho's works - you never know! ;-)
