Salonen certainly knows the orchestra; and yet he is another example of a composer who likes to pretend that the 20th century never happened. This is music of the late 19th century. It's trying so hard to be profound; with all of the necessary tropes. And that makes it even more difficult to take.

Do modern composers (other than film) know how to write 'tunes' anymore???
