In some ways, I wish I could have attended that program too, although in view of my post about their virtual sonic environment in Berkeley (below), I'd probably now be doubly outraged, unless I'd attended in San Diego! :-)
BTW, I fear I may have given the impression that I no longer believe the VPO has that individual sound that they boast of and that you and so many other listeners speak of. You can of course hear it on recordings. My problem was that the electronically manipulated sound I heard in Berkeley may or may not be representative of their undoctored sound. They may indeed have a very special, individual sound, but the sound I heard in Berkeley was not it. I'm glad you got to hear the unadulterated sound!
Also, since you liked the Brahms 2 performance, I'd like to take this chance again to recommend Bychkov's SACD set of all the Brahms symphonies (with the Cologne Radio Symphony) on the Avie label. These performances are very much "string-oriented" performances and I can understand why some listeners might not like that - I find them very satisfying myself.
