. . . when we start discussing standards of orchestra playing, we're getting into "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin" territory. Yes, the Montreal players are outstanding - along with dozens of other orchestras around the world whose playing is at a similarly high standard. Even what one might have previously considered third-rate orchestras play to an amazing level of accomplishment these days. Sometimes, I would never have known about these orchestras except for their involvement on various audiophile, hi-rez labels:
