The orchestra was for many years conducted by Sir John Barbirolli (additional info and facts about John Barbirolli) who brought it to prominence, and with whom they made many recordings.

Welcome to Orchestra.com In ancient Greece the orchestra was the space between the auditorium and the proscenium (or stage), in which were stationed the chorus and the instrumentalists. The unusual aspect of the orchestra was that, believing that in the ideal Marxist state all men are equal, its members felt that there was no need to be led by the dictatorial baton of a conductor; instead they were led by a committee. In some theaters, the orchestra is the area of seats directly in front of the stage (called "primafila" or "platea"); the term more properly applies to the place in a theatre, or concert hall set apart for the musicians. www.orchestra.com   (2026 words)

Amazon.com: Holst: The Planets; The Mystic Trumpeter; Colin Matthews: Pluto: Music I say 'very nearly' because Elder's Halle Orchestra play with exceptional delicacy and richness; Elder's musical directorship of the Halle is obviously bearing splendid fruit. In 'Venus' the RSNO's violins are just a shade glassier than the Halle's, but the climax of 'Saturn' is no less powerful and I very much liked the bright, sharp, almost raucous colours of 'Uranus'. The RSNO's performance on 'Mars' and 'Venus' is also much more wilful than that of the Halle, and they match up well to each other on the more meditative movements and sequences too. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005YXIV?v=glance   (1599 words)

Floridian: BBC classical recordings give meaning to the 'legend' label Barbirolli's account of the Third Symphony (BBCL 4044) with the Halle Orchestra is as thoroughly idiomatic as it is moving, and Horenstein's magnificent readings of the massive Eighth and the heartbreaking Ninth (coupled with the Kindertotenlieder sung by Baker) make for a powerful listening experience (BBCL 4001 and 4075). Of particular interest is Horenstein's penetrating performance of Das Lied von der Erde with the BBC Northern Symphony Orchestra, a live reading that is equal in every way to those of Herbert Von Karajan, Bruno Walter and Otto Klemperer (BBCL 4042). Vishnevskaya's dark but authoritative performance of Mussorgsky songs, accompanied by Markevitch and the London Symphony Orchestra, is one of the highlights of the series. sptimes.com /2002/12/08/news_pf/Floridian/BBC_classical_recordi.shtml   (524 words)
