Agreed тАУ yet, there are still orchestra companies that will feature the occasional Bartok piece, or Britten work. I won't be critical of actual composers (while that was my aspiration when I entered, it will remain unrealized), but I can't listen to, and appreciate it as some can.

Happy belated birthday, Maestro Mehta!
