David,
No, please ask away.

I don't own this particular recording of the work, but the performance I heard on the radio (it was Blue Lake Public Radio, hailing from northern Michigan), was exceptional. It was the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, conducted by Iona Brown. The hornist's names were Hermann Baumann and Timothy Brown (Philips 422346). It was an excellent rendition, however -- very clean and melodically expressive. The two principles were really in sync with one another.
I've also recently heard the older recording of the Dvorak Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Petr Altrichter. The hornists were Zdenek Tylsar and Bedrich Tylsar (Supraphon 0769).
BTW, I would like one day to own both Brain and Tuckwell's recordings of this work, assuming that both recorded the piece. They are my two favorite horn players.
