Very exciting. I am planning on being in the Washington, D.C. area a week or so too late to hear either of these performances. I find it interesting, though I'm not sure what it means, that the NSO doesn't think that the horn players deserve mention by name anywhere on their website. Reminds me of the Thieleman/Philharmonia and Gardiner/OAE recordings on DG a few year back.
Would Yo-Yo Ma (to pick a name totally at random) put up with this sort of treatment? Even the violist in Harold in Italy always gets credit in the program just below the maestro. As Mr. Dangerfield put it - I(we) get no respect.
