A clown. Lately, he's becoming a sort of poor man's Sgarbi. What still saves him is the (unjustified) halo of "great artist" and "great connoisseur of music" that they bestowed upon him years ago, which is more than enough for his television appearances.

One of the great American singer-songwriters, without a doubt.

Great avant-garde composer until the mid-'70s, afterwards, out of the blue, he veered towards a much less interesting post-post-romanticism with one of the most abrupt triple somersaults with a twist in history. I realized that around the beginning/mid-'70s, other composers (see Ligeti) also decided to distance themselves from the more radical avant-gardes to reclaim some tradition, but at least Gyorgy continued to write great music without betraying his previous achievements. Penderecki seems to have been replaced by a doppelgänger, such is the difference. Mysteries...

Despite their originality, I always enjoy listening to them, and the early albums are good. Derivative, but with style.

He is generally unbearable, but I've always been quite fond of 1950.

One of the greatest American modernist composers of the last century (even though he composed a lot of music in the years following 2000, well into his 90s), music that is quite challenging, yet very personal and intriguing. It deserves a listen.

One of the greatest symphonists of the 20th century.

I had one of his cassette tapes when I was a kid; I don't know how many times I listened to it. I think he made some great songs, if you contextualize the genre. Much better than an Al Bano, that's for sure.
