To: a fool in paradise

Again, the people in the world’s top orchestras are the best instrumentalists in the world. They are like NBA or NFL players.

Play pretend some more.

Are George Lucas or Francis Ford Copolla or Martin Scorcese among ‘the best’? And yet still they are capable of producing some crap every now and then.

Technical greatness does not equal art or a championship trophy every time.

A bit conceited to demand millions for the rest of your lifetime because you won an audition that one time.

Hollywood has opted to go with cheaper orchestras and that decision has a permanent record. The budget on the productions could certainly absorb the cost but they determine it isn’t worth it.

The London Phil has its crossover appeal but much of that came through works with composer conductor John Williams.
