It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: I Read That Article..........

As I've stated before, I think sensitivity to particular kinds of intonation problems must be a very personal thing. Offhand, I can't recall a VPO recording where I was taken aback by bad intonation. Maybe bits of the old Barbirolli/VPO set of Brahms symphonies, although my main problem with that set was that the oboe tone was so thin and sour - in other ways, I really like that set and I still have it.

Also, in general, I tend to agree with Richard Strauss when said, "Never look at the brass section - it only encourages them!" IOW, I'm wary of a lot of brass "projection" - for me, they're almost always loud enough already! :-)
