I (alas) have never played it, but the horn parts seem to be most rewarding, with plenty of soli passages for the quartet, non too high (Horn in D), and nicely spaced out, so that endurance shouldn't be a problem. The solo flute part sounds like a challenge, however. Hopefully the 1963 Cleveland recording is still available (Sony Essential Classics SBK 62 830). It shows off Mike Bloom and his gang at their peak. The scintillating flutist is Maurice Sharp, at the time well along on his 50 year career as principal in Cleveland. The adagio, for strings alone, is as meltingly beautiful a performance as I can imagine. Give it a listen.
