The Royal Concertbuilding Orchestra [RCO, Amsterdam, conductor = Mariss Janssons] was just voted as the best orchestra in the world by UK 'Gramaphone' magazine.
The Berliner Philharmoniker [conductor = Simon Rattle] was second and The Wiener Philharmoniker [conductor = invited every year] were third. There were also a lot of USA orchestra's on the list.
The RCO is now celibrating their 120th anniversary and they put 10 downloadable symphonies on their website [after a free registration]. When you are into classical music, this is a must have.
The recordings are available until the 31st of December 2008.
Enjoy
