to what standard? I know what you mean. But I think we should respect pbarach and Thornhill's opinions.
Most modern orchestras lack the distinctiveness of 30-40 yrs ago.
Berlin w Furtie or HvK, VPO with whomever, Clev w Szell, Philly w Stokie or Ormandy, Boston with Koussevitzky or Munch, Amsterdam with van Beinum or Mengelberg, etc.
Let's face it, we live in a more uniform homogenated world these days. This internet forum is an e.g. of the homogeneity we experience. I wouldn't have "known" you without this. What I mean, people can listen on YT so fast, and learn from each other. I think that's why everyone sounds kind of the same.
BTW, nice pics, thinking of picking up a Lumix like yours (on sale, this week at Costco).
Your Costa Mesa review was great--I missed it until now.
