Kenneth Montgonery - Ulster Orchestra

[mahler10th]

Last week I heard a lot of Kenneth Montgomery and the Ulster Orchestra.  Kenny himself is a native of Ulster, being born in Belfast.  The thing is, I had to post something about him here because I am super impressed with his handling of the Orchestra, and the Orchestral sonorities he achieves.  Last week, Radio 3 (UK) played a lot of works by Montgomery and the Ulster, and each time I thought there was something more in his output than standard performance stuff.
I will look out some performances over time and post them in WAYLT thread.  Just thought he is worthy of a mention.  The Ulster Orchestra have never sounded so big and wide, and they're all the better for it.

They have had some very good conductors too.
