Personal bit... I played under the conductor on that disc (Luis Haza)
as a member of a Washington DC area youth orchestra for a several years.
Sandoval performed, I think (if I remember correctly), the premiere of the
Artunian concerto with us at the Kennedy Center a year or so before this
recording took place... fun piece to play, and it was quite exciting to
hear it played just a couple feet away by Sandoval, its commissioner.
Maestro Haza got to conduct the LSO on this disc. I haven't been keeping
up with what the (as it was called at the time) Northern Virginia Youth
Symphony/American Youth Philharmonic has been doing lately, but I wonder
where Mr. Haza's conducting career has taken him since then.
