We've had Evelyn calling people idiots for not inherently recognizing the
superiority of Russian orchestras.



Travel, travel.

I have had the fortune to attend theaters both in New York and in
Leningrad (before it changed name). Here is my opinion.
Russian instrumentalists are simply not surpassable for technique,
dedication and amalgama.
Russian orchestras are what is needed to perform (heavy) russian
symphonic music.
Just a tad, to be kind, heavy and baroque, though.

Don't ask them to play joyous Vivaldi nor Mozart. Let a western
orchestra play some major Schostakovitch and you fieel that so much is
lacking, though.

I believe the same goes in other fields, as well.
You just need to travel, guys.


Or allow the orchestras to travel (with their instruments),
so they may be heard in other venues!
