I don't find it scary, just not very satisfying. Reading Boulez, who Scruton rightly names the Chairman, can be informative. He's a wonderful conductor/interpreter of nineteenth century music, at least to my ears. But as Chairman of the A.G., he strikes me as wrong-headed. Or, and never trust composers who are also lecturers, self-serving. For what it's worth, I find orchestras who won't program anything later than Brahms, wrong-headed in the opposite way. I don't think we really sufficiently appreciate the real modernists --Debussy, Stravinsky, Bartok...and the second tier, if we're being snobs about it, Britten, Shostakovich, Prokofiev. I listen to Ades, Schnittke, and some of the Eastern European/Russian crowd with a lot more enjoyment than Boulez and his people.
