Wow! Tough room!!! I'm probably gonna get hammered for this but we're really statring to sound like musical snobs here. Let's face it, we're not practicing neurosugery. Just because someone isn't as well versed as others (obviously your more enlightend to know that it was the LSO) however, some peoples reference point isn't as elevated as others...let's not scare them off by making them feel inferior. I'm of the opinion that sometimes learning through osmosis can be just as valuable. And Alex was right when he spoke of others viewing these forums, starting their musical journey and offering them our gained knowledge.
Usually I never get envolved in quibbling, but c'mon guys...we're better than this!! Not trying to offend anyone....just MHO.
No snobbery intended, just pointing out that there is no LA Hollywood sound, and that the best Trumpet players are not necessarily in LA. I also seem to remember that a British French Horn player was "imported" to play the solos in "The Perfect Storm". Let's not be snobbish and pretend that American is always best, after all most orchestration technique is based on the work of Continental European composers. [:D]
