Easiest orchestra to play in? The Berlin Philharmonic….
mainFrom an interview with Berlin’s principal oboe, Jonathan Kelly:
‘The Berlin Philharmonic is actually the easiest orchestra in the world to play in, because you are surrounded by such active and committed musicians. You feel constantly carried along by a wave of communication and activity.’

Quite a feat to have played in every orchestra in the world.
We say ” Home sweet home “, even if we have never lived in all the countries of the world…
Has Mr Kelly played in the LSO?
His vibrato is excessive and and too fast for my taste.
What has happened to Mr Kelly though? He has not appeared on any recent performances in the Digital Concert Hall.
Oops, it seems the interview answers that question
