While looking for a You Tube performance of the correct section of The Faust Symphony, I happened upon this remarkable performance of Star Wars Overture, in which a violinist's bridge snaps. A momentary clip, and to most it appears as "nothing."
However, the warmth of this orchestra's performance is WONDERFUL, reminiscent of the rich sound Eugene Ormandy got from the Philadelphia Orchestra. I wonder how many of those players are Juilliard trained- in my years there, Orientals dominate the student culture!
I have to say the Juilliard Orchestra sucks! Nobody in it wants to be an orchestral player- they all want solo careers, and consequently while playing with great technical skill and mastery, their attitude spoils the whole effect. Immaturity at its finest! Orchestra is required, and very few want it.
