I received a lovely note from a friend of a friend, a well-regarded writer in another field. He read my book and has subsequently developed what he calls a \u201cfull-blown obsession?? with Messiaen, whom he’d never listened to before. This obsession developed to the point where he did something unprecedented and extreme: he bought tickets to an orchestra concert. Namely, the St. Louis Symphony’s Turangal\u00eela evening, which I praised\u2026. He writes: \u201cI’m not even going to try to describe the effect it had on me, other than to say there are a few cultural encounters that have marked me forever \u2014 understanding C\u00e9zanne for the first time, my Merce Cunningham epiphany, my first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth viewings of Hou Hsiao-hsien’s Flowers of Shanghai \u2014 and the Turangal\u00eela now joins their company.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
