Having myself played in orchestras (2 instr.), I understand the sensation of these musicians.

The orchestra, the love for that is like loving somebody in your family- I do not know how explain. For those happy on that, including happy with maestro, it is like a place where we finally breath. Where we have unlimited ground to individually show the best of us and discover ever better within our realm. It is a constant expansion.

Hope they make a lot of success in the future and perpetuate the orchestra beauty in order to create more moderate minds in the population.

This type of music is Universal language.

BTW; I trully believe these musicians are not like the Baremboim's musicians in the land of Israel occupied by Muslim Palestinians terrorists.
