In the meantime I have found out that there is a sequel to Anderson's arrogant statement:
In the July/August 2012 issue of "Fanfare", Jerry Dubins writes: Martin Anderson, in his review of Brun’s Third Symphony, quotes a friend who described the composer’s music as “typically Swiss – all sex and no orgasm.” I’m more inclined to describe it as all foreplay and no sex.
Although his review is a positive and substatial one, Dubins had no better idea than to ruminate Anderson's statement and to include it as a "dessert". A composer friend of mine means that: Otherwise generally very capable reviewers fall into one of the easiest traps for a reviewer and that is to be cute at the expense of being helpful in knowing what the music under review sounds like
Incidentally, as far as I know, foreplay is already a part of sex.
