The concert an hour before is interesting too- Holliger conducts the Suisse Romande in music including this:

Anton Reicha: Scène pour cor anglais et grand orchestre en fa majeur

(Not listed at the Slovak Radio site, but found at the orchestra's own site - description of the May 6 2011 concert that's being broadcast in an hour from now)

Has this English horn "scene" (instrumental version of a mad scene, is sometimes how the word is... well anyhow) ever been recorded? Don't know...

(I think either Zimmer 7 or 9 actually was on LP once- not sure though. Not CD, that I can tell. I know his 1st symphony was, but apparently at least one of the others too. Anyways. Different performance.)

Hrm - I didn't hear who is performing- it sounds like a new performance. I think this recording of 9 sounds clearer than Lenard's but I'm not the best at those comparisons. I like it, anyway...
