Osvaldo Golijov defends his work Sidereus, in an interview with Dan Wakin of the New York Times. Anne Midgette has also been musing on the matter. As I said in a New Yorker blog post, I hope very much that Golijov produces new works of heft and power, pushing this murky controversy to the side. As Russell Platt writes, in a reflection on the Duruflé Requiem, it's the end result that counts.
