I'd be a bit worried about attending a performance of Sinfonia Antartica in conditions of verisimilitude, Tommo. [You beat me to it, Ron] Likewise with Scriabin's Poem of Fire.
On the other hand, there may be something to be said for a link between music and art. What music would sit well alongside a Rothko or a Pollock? And I've often thought that Stravinsky was the Picasso of twentieth century music, though there may be better comparisons than the linking those two.
There was a performance of, I seem to recall, a Feldman quartet in a gallery not so long ago. Was that art-related, I cannot remember.
Tate Modern does indeed have listening stations by some works - though I think they're generally by 'pop' musicians. The only one I experienced was a Chemical Brothers interpretation of an Epstein sculpture - a bit "ooh, there's a sort of man-machine type thing, let's do some techno to it" - too literal for my tastes.
I think the artists chose which works they wanted to illustrate, though.
Having said that, me and a friend experienced The Residents' 'Eskimo' LP sitting in our flat in the depths of winter with the windows open, whilst it was snowing outside, in our sleeping bags. Cool.
Friends of mine used to use incense during their free-drone-rock performances which worked well in giving it a certain vibe.
I think the Feldman might have worked with Rothkos, somehow.
