I watched the same performance on PBS and it looked like Phil Myers to me, but I don't think he played the Overture.? I thought they sounded great too!? Phil has lost weight over the past few years I think. Sherry Baker

They were, of course, everything I hoped & dreamed of -- fabulous! They did Tchai #4 & Berlioz's Roman Carnival & Sir James Gallway played the Ibert flute concerto. It was all magnificent! Also, at the beginning, they all stood to play the national anthem which was especially touching being so soon after the 9/11 memorial service. Here's my question for anyone who might know. The man in the principal chair didn't look like the pictures I've seen of Philip Meyers. If the principle was Philip Meyers, he's lost over 150 pounds & appears to have grown his hair out a bit. Does anyone know if it was Philip Meyers? If not, who was it? Whoever he was, he played beautifully. The whole section rocked. I wanted to go back stage to hopefully meet a horn player or two, but I lost my jacket which took a while to relocate & assisted an elderly couple for a few minutes who took a tumble on the stairs. (Ouch!)
