Feijenoord

Hello,
I'm not sure I'll keep posting as I registered for a specific (and non musical) topic, but at least it is the occasion for me to say I've been reading the site and forum for a long time now and to thank you all for your great work and the numerous tips on recordings and on new works I read on this forum.
I'm originally from Netherlands, but now living and working in Philly, and I'm a proud fan of the Philadelphia Orchestra. We are lucky to have one of the most promising conductors as musical director here for several years !

Welcome, Feijenoord! Great that you live near one of the world's great orchestras. I usually hear the Philadelphians when they come to Carnegie Hall - the last couple of times have been particularly good.

Anyway, enjoy yourself here.

Thanks to all of you !
Yes Brewski, this is a great orchestra and I think they're currently at their best since I've started attending their concerts... I hope this improvement continues, and their financial situation improves and allows the orchestra to keep playing and improving. I heard a couple weeks ago a magnificent account of Also sprach Zarathustra and Rachmaninov's 2nd concerto (with Dutoit, who is a great conductor even if he doesn't have the genius of Nezet-Seguin), and it was one of the best concerts I've heard so far.

Greetings, and welcome!

I lived in NJ for almost a decade and attended many concerts of the Phil.Orchestra. Some very wonderful memories. And I'm a fan of the city.  ;D

Welcome Feijenoord - glad that you are enjoying the GMG forum and hope to see you around! :)

We occasionally get up to Philly (just one airplane for us from Piedmont North Carolina) - love the history & the food -  :D
