DTMX Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Maybe they were looking through the Yellow Pages for a "serious composer" and they found Wuorinen under "serialist composer".

Larry Kart Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I'm thinking it should have been John Adams -- or better, no one. BTW, has there ever been an opera based on Les Liaisons Dangereuses? Seems like a natural to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
