That's what I was thinking. I mean, I love Boulez but showing him move from right to left hand while the horns traded between open and muted drove me nuts!
BTW, the announcer said the symphony opened with a horn call, not a horn solo. ;-) minor difference but, while it was played on the euphonium, there was a definite horn call aspect to it. (semantics are fun!!!!)
