I better leave no for another "Parsifal" starting in two hours at the State Opera. A disgusting show man conducting this heavenly music.
FYI, I checked out the Baverian State Opera website to see whom Mr. P was referring to:
http://www.bayerische.staatsoper.de/c.php/index_bso.php?l=de&dom=dom1 I then did a search/display of their April 2004 schedule.
Compared to the any USA arts center beyond New York City the volume and scope of activity is phenomenal. Perhaps Hans: could you give us an overview of the musicians' schedules and how the horns in particular spread the work out? ie: how many hornists are under full contract.
...and I thought I was busy...
