For me, he was capable of a incredible range of expression.  I used to
play some of his piano works.  When you get into them you find all an
immense care with the basics, like voice leading.  His operas the Dialogues
and La Voix are, for me, masterpieces.  The Stabat Mater and Gloria are
amongst my favorite choral works.  The Concert Champetre is witty and
nothing short of brilliant.  I find a timeless quality to the Organ
Concerto.

Somehow he seems to be one of those composers we take for granted.  He
is was not a trend setter, nor is his music "intellectual." Happily,
it is performed, however, not as often as I would like.
