In Reply to: Orchestral Players -- 2 Questions posted by goldenthal on April 19, 2015 at 17:06:31:
Last year the Cleveland Orchestra performed Britten's Spring Symphony for the first time in several decades with only one (open to subscribers) rehearsal because their instruments hadn't made it back in time for the only other rehearsal scheduled before the performance (the chorus had plenty of rehearasal time). I heard the open rehearsal, and it was already a fine performance with tight ensemble. I went the following night to the first performance, and it was even better. That's what a great orchestra can do under good leadership (Welser-Moest in this case).
