Very fan-like tone ("rapturously received," etc.). Needs a POV overhaul.

No kidding. I like Golijov quite a bit, but "Music has surely not produced sounds like these since the days of Richard Strauss"? Please.

Indeed, the language is erroneously prejudiced.

To agree with the above - Golijov is one of my favorite composers, I get excited about his stuff too, but this article is very poorly written. It reads like a bad review of someone's favorite rock band. A full rewrite seems desirable.

I've taken out some of the more fan-like language - but I agree this needs a more academic rewrite as Golijov is an important composer and this entry does him no justice. I'll do this later when I have time.
