In Reply to: There are likely more able orchestras around the world than ever before. nt posted by jdaniel@jps.net on April 9, 2017 at 17:48:07:
today's economics of orchestras in general and recording in particular often means fewer and shorter rehearsals and more (perhaps touched-up) live recordings rather than true studio recordings. Still, I agree the technical level of the players today is as high as ever or higher.
I'm convinced the main difference between many so-called "second tier" or regional orchestras and the big guns is the number of rehearsals and concerts. At least in the US, most regional orchestras do not have as long a season or as full a schedule.
