It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

What, no Phillie?!!

I've heard ten of those orchestras live, and most of those several times, and I'd say the Philadelphia Orchestra certainly belongs in the top ten (for the record, I'm a native of NYC and have never lived in Phillie).

It's been years since I heard the Concertgebouw, but when I heard it conducted by Haitink in Carngeie Hall, it made utterly luscious sounds in Brahms and Mahler. On that evening, I would definitely have placed it as number one.

Cheers,

Ivan
