		Full size orchestras may sometimes be called "symphony orchestras" or "philharmonic orchestras"; these prefixes do not indicate any difference either to the instrumental content or role of the orchestra, but can be useful to distinguish different orchestras based in the same city (for instance, the London Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Orchestra).
		At first the orchestra was an aristocratic luxury, performing privately at the courts of the princes and nobles of Italy; but in the 17th century performances were given in theatres, and Germany eagerly followed.
		In ancient Greece the orchestra was the space between the auditorium and the proscenium (or stage), in which were stationed the chorus and the instrumentalistss.

		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.

	The Montreal Symphony Orchestra
		A nominating committee headed by Bernard Shapiro convened in the summer of 2002, and Board President Jacques Laurent was so confident of progress he announced at the beginning-of-season reception that a new director would be named by the end of the 2002-03 season.
		The architectual design for the new MSO Hall and the new Conservatory of Montreal building was unveiled to controversy; with the new Liberal government in power, the outcome of the project is still up in the air.
		Meanwhile, the orchestra survived a rocky start to their season, giving solid performances by mid-year.

	Carnegie Hall: Montreal Symphony Orchestra and Argerich
		The Montreal Symphony Orchestra made its annual autumn pilgrimage to Carnegie Hall this weekend with pianist Martha Argerich as headliner.
		The MSO's Carnegie Hall performances prove it is one of North America’s top four orchestras, along with the Philadelphia Orchestra (especially under Rattle and Dutoit), the National Symphony and Chicago Symphony for contemporary music under Boulez, and the Pittsburgh Orchestra when Jansons conducts.
		The Quebec government faithfully subsidizes the Montreal Symphony Orchestra to the tune of several million dollars annually, but it won’t deserve this gem of a band until it also bankrolls a proper auditorium to house it.

	Carnegie Hall: Montreal Symphony Orchestra
		The MSO’s fabled French touch - the gossamer strings, the airy lightness and lightning response of sections, the purity of woodwind and horn solos, the pert rhythms - was gone.
		Szymanowski’s mystical-impressionistic Third Symphony (“Song of the Night”) was an interesting novelty in the style of Scheonberg's Gurrelieder and Szymanowski's Krol Roger, which the MSO have played in recent seasons.
		The Montreal Gazette cheerled for the home team (memo to the Gazette: Emmanuel Villaume is not a “fully unknown French conductor”, he is a regular guest conductor with major US orchestras and he is the artistic director of the Spoleto Festival, the biggest arts festival in the southern USA).

		The Montreal Symphony under the direction of Charles Dutoit delivers the kind of sonic impression (and fireworks!) that give this recording a real 'you are there' feeling.
		The Montreal Symphony Orchestra also is by no means a stellar band in and of itself.
		All of this is fantastically interpreted by Dutoit and performed by the Montreal Symphony Orchestra; their performance of this movement alone makes this disc worth the purchase.

		Many thanks to the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, its principal conductor, Jacques Lacombe, and to the five members of the Toronto percussion group Nexus for an outstanding evening.
		Although mainly a percussion piece, in which the orchestra plays a minor role, Toru Takemitsu's From me flows what you call Time, is quietly reflective.
		Superbly co-ordinated, these five virtuosos evoked in conjunction with the orchestra a superbly beautiful realm of extraordinary sonic images, all utterly spellbinding.

		The reason for this is simple: he loves to play to the audience, and the result is all kinds of wild gesticulating that the orchestra knows perfectly well to ignore.
		Charles Dutoit and the Montreal Symphony Orchestra have a natural feeling for mood, rhythm and colour that transpire into the "Planets Suite" that have stood up through the years.
		Although technology has changed and orchestras are more atuned to the demands of the technology, this recording is still masterful.
