Your first impression was correct -- everything I have heard of
del Tredici's is hypertrophic dreck.  He is the John Irving of music --
popular but writing the same flawed piece over and over again.  There is
no truth to the rumor that he's one of a growing number of composers
who've been replaced by outer space pod drones to write music about nothing
but clouds and bunny rabbits (this rumor is courtesy of the Village Voice.)
