elmore, go the the LA Times site and write a letter to the editor AND the author of the article - records must be set straight.
I think the article is just plain vague, although, I think it actually implies that the conductor did not come across "Dream With Me" until 1997 for himself, by himself, not that the song was "buried" until then. But...
bk - Just write the letter to the L.A. Times yourself. You produced the album, so you're most definitely an "authority" here. Do you ever read the Letters to the Arts Editor in the New York Times? They're filled with comments, corrections and clarifications from composers, conductors, performers, scholars and producers. And the "credit" is always given in a post-script after the body of the letter - free publicity!
