I just listened to some Messiaen after all these years. I’ve listened to him before, but I was really into common-practice music, so it sounded like dissonant, incomprehensible, crap. I’ve also listened to Scriabin back then. “How could anyone possibly stand having this anywhere within earshot?” I thought, about both of their music.
But when I listen to them now, I get eargasms!
Never trust first impressions.
