Obviously, the more the better!

But presumably, Alan, this venture is quite independent of Chandos?

Oh, I wish I could be there. My favourite Rufinatscha (the Fifth) performed in such an environment. Good to remember and celebrate his 200th birthday!

I know of no connection...

I believe that it is a major step forward for Rufinatscha's music that a conductor with an international reputation such as Kristjan Järvi - younger son of Neeme - is taking up his cause in this, the 200th anniversary of the composer's birth. It seems to me to be quite a breakthrough.

Yes, you are right and it's very encouraging news coupled with Chandos taking up the cudgels.

My favorite of his symphonies as well. I certainly hope it will be broadcast and .....
