Don't forget the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. They mix excellent recordings... never heard them live though. There trumpet section is phenomenal and their horns are quite good as well.

What are the top 5 orchestras in the world in your honest opinion and why?... My favorites are as follows: 1. Vienna Philharmonic- Incredible intonation, deep and dark sound, unique from other orchestra's sound wise and stylistically. 2. London Symphony- Star wars,which as you all know, VERY good recordings. Horn section is super loud but not overly loud, overall intonation is incredible. 3. Berlin Phil- Not too familiar with their current status on how they sound , but the older recordings were quite good. Their Tchaik 4 was particularly good to my taste. 4. Chicago- Loud brass, sometimes overly done, but none the less, very dramatic and helps with the emotion of the music come to life. _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/karlwf%40comcast.net _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
