I concur with the nomination of the Czech Philharmonic. Ancerl lifted it to world standards and it has stayed there. Another Eastern European orchestra of more recent vintage which must be seriously considered is Ivan Fischer's Budapest Festival Orchestra. They started off as Philips' house band for Bartok and Kodaly but now that they have been dropped by this label for some unaccountable reason they've given us some superlative Mahler, Rachmaninov, and Tchaikovsky for Channel Classics.I've heard nothing from the current Berlin Philharmonic (under Rattle) that has blown my mind. On the other hand, when he gets back in front of his former orchestra in Birmingham and does Szymanowski I buy without waiting for the reviews.
