"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it."

Japan Philharmonic Orchestra
Akeo Watanabe, director
It is grotesque that this is the only recording of this symphony, one of the really great orchestral works by one of America's great composers.
