Further listening reveals that the positive immediate impression I felt with the opening movement of the First Symphony dissipated quickly into a sea of rote bombastic orchestral effects in all the other works I was able to sample. Very little nuance or meaningful development of ideas beyond acceleration/deceleration and soft/loud. The composer has the tools, it just looks like he is impatient and too quick to jump into shallow orchestral effects -- and this is coming from a listener who is sympathetic to the hyper-modern idiom.
