European rating

These 2 ratings show Bavarian Radio (Bayerischen Rundfunk) as 6 in the world. Cleveland is 7. LSO is 4, but IMHO, things move around a bit, too.
Example, I heard LA Phil (during Salonen's tenure) at Disney twice for children's concerts, and they weren't near 8, as that 2008 rating states. Younger conductors were working, but orchestra was not world class. Nowhere near.
