many of those guys are who taught me how an orchestra should sound. I think Jones husband and many of the string players remain. But the names you typed would be over 75 years old in most cases.I heard the Dohnanyi/Ashkenazy/Page/Jahja Ling/Michael Stern group often live. Pre renovation. And I heard the 2000 orchestra play the concert which opened the Carnegie Hall guest artists season that year, and which played on PBS (Schumann 2nd symph/Brahms PC 2 with Pollini). Good seats that time, about 15 rows back on the orchestra about 5 seats to the right of center. I thought the orchestra did well indeed, but have no comparison to a live Szell band except by records and WCLV archives.
