"I find him interesting, especially when played by Yvonne Loriod. The works of his Ive heard often start magnificantly, but their initial promise is never realized, and you get these sugar-water climaxes that I cant stand. Splendid ideas, then suddenly Gershwin, cloying sweetness! Having said that, I like Gershwin a lot. Hes excellent in his own field, and less sentimental than Messiaen."
