LEIPZIG, Germany (AP) - Kurt Masur, the music director of the New York Philharmonic, was recovering well after undergoing a kidney transplant in Germany, the hospital said Monday.

The 74-year-old conductor suffered no complications during the operation, which was done Nov. 29, the University Clinic in the eastern city of Leipzig said in a statement.

Masur's 11th and final season as the Philharmonic's musical director began Sept. 20 with a performance televised in the United States of Brahms' "German Requiem'' in memory of the victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. He is scheduled to return to the Philharmonic on Feb. 7 for a performance of Wagner's "Tristan and Isolde.''

Masur is to be replaced at the end of the season by Lorin Maazel, 71-year-old director of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in Munich.

Born in Silesia, the former German territory that is now Poland, Masur has close connections with Leipzig, having studied here and led the city's Gewandhaus Orchestra from 1970 until 1996.
