IT's funny that you mention intonation about Vienna because that is generally not their strong point:) Chris --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 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/tedesccj%40yahoo.com __ Do you Yahoo!?

Actually, if you read the original message, he said incredible intonation. He did not say good intonation! Incredulously, Richard in Seattle Am 17.

I have many older recordings where there there is some suspect intonation in wind and brass (along with other orchestras!), but I don't think anybody could reasonably accuse the VPO of poor intonation these days!

The top 5 in my opinion are as follows: 1 - Wiener Philharmonic 2 - Berlin Philharmonic 3 - New York Philharmonic 4 - London Symphony Orchestra 5 - Chicago Symphony Orchestra -William P.S. - Some close calls would have included the Royal Concertgebow, the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra (the MET), the Los Angeles Philharmonic off the top of my head. The MGM symphony orchestra could be in the top seven to ten anyways - at least they're probably the most heard internationally. ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

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. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2004 8:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Hornlist] Top 4 Orchestras in the world,type your list and opinions...
