		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).
		The principal modern meaning of symphony is a sonata for the orchestra.
		The orchestral symphony originated in the operatic overture, which in the middle of the 18th century began to assimilate the essentials of the sonata style.

	DVD-Audio Review: Utah Symphony Orchestra (Abravanel) - ‘Brahms: Symphony No.1, Academic Festival Overture’
		This new Silverline DVD-Audio release not only marks the debut of Maurice Abravanel’s glorious Utah Symphony cycle on DVD-Audio, it also stands as the first time these recordings have truly had a format that allows them to bloom like the beautiful flowers they are.
		There are some minor inconsistencies toward the end, where Abravanel is just slightly under tempo at the beginning of the coda, probably because he was attentively holding back the players to keep the accelerando from turning into a muddled rout as it so often becomes in less attentive hands.
		Indeed, one could think of Abravanel’s Utah Symphony of the 1970’s as being a slightly less full, slightly less polished, yet also slightly more flexible version of Szell’s formidable Cleveland Orchestra of the 1960’s.

	deseretnews.com \| Utah Symphony not renewing Kogan pact
		The Utah Symphony has announced that it will drop Pavel Kogan as the symphony's principal guest conductor when his contract expires at the end of the current season — and Kogan isn't happy about it.
		He also mentioned that besides having a good working and personal relationship with the musicians of the Utah Symphony, he is proud that his concerts tend to sell out Abravanel Hall.
		Ewers said that since the Utah Symphony has only an 18-week Masterworks season, having a music director who conducts 10 concerts each season, and a principal guest conductor who does four, doesn't leave much room for bringing in other guests to the podium.

	DVD-Audio Review: Utah Symphony Orchestra (Abravanel) - ‘Mahler: Symphony No.2, 'Resurrection'’
		The environment on this recording is of course the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, where Abravanel and the Utah Symphony recorded their entire Mahler cycle.
		In addition, the unanimity of pitch in the Utah Symphony strings is slightly less perfect than on the competing recordings I used for comparison.
		Indeed, for a certain type of listener, one who feels that Mahler’s rhetoric is frequently in danger of spilling into self-parody, Abravanel’s “laid back” performance, with its distant perspective and sometimes small-scale feel, may be just the right antidote to the hyper-emotional, lapel-grabbing approaches of some conductors.
