Many thanks for the report. I'm even more jealous - 'Asrael' isn't programmed that often and I would very much like to have heard it in the flesh conducted by the young Mr Hrůša. I'm not surprised that it was 'a really fine performance' as, judging from the Janáček and Dvořák I've heard him perform on CD and in concert, he has a particular flair for the music of his native country. A bit depressing, though, reading about the poor attendance - it will simply put off concert promoters from including works by composers other than the usual suspects, not least Mahler.
