The quality of the players in most major professional orchestras these days is sky high, and the competition is fierce for every chair. Alas, the days of unlimited rehearsals stretching hours beyond when they were scheduled to end (with no complaints from the musicians) are basically over. The economic situation in classical music today doesn't permit that approach.There are second and even third tier orchestras that I believe would come very close to the Vienna Philharmonic or Amsterdam Concertgebouw in quality if they had unlimited rehearsal time. It is no coincidence that those two great orchestras have long enjoyed heavy government funding.
It often comes down not to which orchestra is better, but which is better prepared (and that can be variable), or maybe even more importantly, which is better recorded.
