I shudder to think all the great music his perfectionism drove him to destroy and am so grateful his wife took to hiding it for posterity to keep him from destroying the profound works of this genius who ironically didn't sufficiently appreciate his own great gifts from God..
What marvelous music! Lush and lean at the same time, or as Ned Rorem says "sumptuous bones". I can hear the influence of Debussy, as well as Ravel. It also has the quality of intensity and classicism, like Fauré.
