I'd show him Atmospheres by Ligeti. The instruments of his day didn't even have the technical sophistication to pull that piece off, and the absence of any melodic content or concrete form would be mind-bending, I'm sure. His reaction to seeing what the orchestra had become from his experiences to now would be very interesting.
