Marian, It was nice of you to reply. Mr. Cook's performance was remarkable. So, too, the whole ensemble.
I think it unfortunate that the musicians are generally omitted from a recording's description; all artists deserve recognition, even if in really tiny print. In this particular case, the booklet's discussion of Symphony 51 specifically refers to the hornist's virtuosity but doesn't provide a name. Some of the recent Mahler recording's I've purchased do provide the roster of musicians, and I welcome that.
