Personally, it pushes my buttons because it makes no sense.  There is a 
tremendous amount of "classical" music created since the begining of the 
20th century that takes advantage of technology or even plays against 
structured composition in tight tonal ranges (a la Bach).

I didn't see the performances, and your interpretation is personal.  I 
won't disagree with your assement of them, nor your desire to hear 
something more harmonically traditional.  However, justifying your opinion 
by stating that you are classically trained is no rationale for any of 
your comments.

Sorry, this kind of thing always bugs me.

Classically trained cellist and composer,

    Kevin
