Magnus Lindberg, Ms. Saariaho's slightly younger compatriot? Even among fans of modern music, so many composers and compositions are extremely polarizing and I am often surprised by the likes and dislikes of any given listener.
I have gotten some strange, and wonderful, reactions to recordings I have lent to people in my office. One young fellow, who listens mostly to indie rock, inquired about modern classical music. On a wild hunch, I brought it a copy of Harry Partch's "Delusion of the Fury" and this supposed classical neophyte loved the CD (he went out searching for an LP copy of the music, which I am sure is an extreme rarity). Even stranger was his comment which was that it reminded him of the music of Luciano Berio!
This was almost as surprising as when another youngster asked for jazz recommendations and I brought in a few different recordings, including some Coltrane. He particularly liked the Coltrane and went looking for more of his works. A few weeks later, he said that the jazz album that he liked the most was "Interstellar Space." Who would have expected someone would instantly connect with free jazz?
