...program's first half was a pair of modern works. Gyorgy Ligeti's Etude I is a collection of tone clusters that build to a defeating climax only to subside to a single note as the zymbalstern stop tinkles in the background.

Composer Howells, he said, "told me that if I was prepared to be as unpleasant as most of the great conductors, I should become one. I did not want anything to do with unpleasantness, so I went into politics...
