| I don't think they're better than a few other orchestras that do that sort of thing but what they have is an edge in several areas:
Dealing with the pressure of frequent broadcasts (there's a lot to be said for being able to cope with that sort of thing on a regular basis)
The longest tradition of that kind of show (they invented it, basically)
So, it depends what "best" means to you. Do they play the repertoire better than anyone else? Do they have a greater abilty to make their audience enjoy the music more than another orhcestra?
When you ask a question like that there are many ways to interpret what you ask. |
