There is nothing about Higdon that has "turned me off." I do think Donald Clarke (in another post) may be right: her orchestral music seems more appealing than the chamber music I have heard. I like the colors she uses. But, all in all, I am a fan and I am not surprised to find others preferring her to Moravec as well. (Though the tick tock piece didn't bother me that much.)
