The article notes that Leos Janacek's music which Mackerras championed, "includ[ed] one adaptation of a newspaper comic strip, "The Cunning Little Vixen"".
Aw, dang, MacKerras was one of my favorites. His Brahms symphony set's is in heavy rotation in my studio. And the Cunning Little Vixen is great; Maurice Sendak designed a production back in the 80s.
