The Tackacs is coming through in the spring, and Peter Wyrick from the SFS will play one of the cello parts. I am SO looking forward to that.

I got to know it many years ago from LP in a performance by the LSO and the tragically short lived Hungarian conductor Istvan Kertesz, who was the first conductor to make a complete set of the 9 Dvorak symphonies. I believe this is still available, and any one looking for an inexpensive Dvorak symphonies set should get it. Kertesz (1929 - 1973 ) unfortunately drowned while swimming in the Mediterranean during a guest conducting stint with the Israel Philharmonic. What a tragic loss. In the early 70s, before Maazel succeeded Szell in Cleveland, the orchestra actually wanted Kertesz for the job. I think the Husitska overture is a terrific piece too.

But you probably found those over the last 14 years. No matter what happens, though, the Schubert ought to clear the cobwebs. Nice work if you can get it.
