Thanks for the reaction, Colin. I think the major difficulty with late Brian lies in the fact that it is hard to know what sort of story he is telling, if at all. With the RVW, Nielsen and Shostakovich symphonies you mention, you get a strong sense of the music starting somewhere and ending somewhere else. Something has been achieved, there is a feeling of cause and effect. Brian, on the other hand, seems to explore or survey a certain space, without necessarily reaching a conclusion...
