Yes- I've worked with Harnoncourt. I play in the orchestra of the Zürich opera house. He usually conducts us once or twice per season.

I heard today that this was the first time that Harnoncourt has conducted in the USA. Is this correct?

Harnoncourt has a huge following in Europe. But he is quite controversial, and sometimes gets bad critiques here too.

A few seasons ago we played Schubert's 'Alfonso und Estrella' with him. He turned this fairly unknown opera into a wonderful musical experience. They recorded the performances, but I don't now if it's ever going to be released on CD. I hope it is, because it's got a wonderful clarinet part!
