I mean , I am sure that for instance , Sir Simon Rattle is very good, but nobody can tell me that the BPO really need a conductor, I was fortunate to see them perform at the Royal Albert Hall a few years back now, I must say they were like great powerful, purring machine. Brilliant!
I can't help thinking that excellent though the London orchestras are, there is really quite a gap between them and the very best world orchestras, like the BPO, and the Cleveland orchestra.Last edited by Megan; 12-16-2011, 02:43 PM.‘Roses do not bloom hurriedly; for beauty, like any masterpiece, takes time to blossom.’
