...and I'm glad! I usually attend the Sat. concerts, but exchanged tickets this week and went on Sun afternoon.
Ditto your comments for that performance as well. The Nirschl has only been in use at few of the concerts, absent even on some other large works. No matter the choice of instrument, he has always sounded terrific, whether it be the soft chords in Shost 1, accompanying the choir voices in the Bruckner Te Deum, the intervallic athleticism of the Scherzo of the V-W 4 or Rite of Spring, or the meat-and-potato Tchaik 4. The Houston Symphony has presented a great season so far. We look forward to every concert. Mega-Kudos to him and his colleages. I hope their budget/contract troubles won't bring things to a halt.
