Southhampton-Dorchester Orchestra, Mark forgot the O. ;D
Ah! An easy choice then! :D
Bogus poll. Most of my favorites aren't on the list. My Top 5:
Staatskapelle Berlin
Gewandhausorchester Leipzig
Czech Philharmonic
Concertgebouw
Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz (if you saw the blonde violist, you'd understand why this orchestra makes the Top Five ;D )
Sarge

Some straight guys like to go for the bottom option too. ;)

:P ::)
final option here, but i really do enjoy the many bpo and lso recordings i have!
i must add the bruckner orkest of linz, l'orchestra de la suisse romande, and the bavarian radio symphony.

VPO is godlike.
Another vote for Bavarian RSO, CzPO and Staatskapelle Berlin meriting inclusion if the LSO is...
Polls like these here are totally pointless. If you think you know and appreciate good orchestral playing enough to distinguish these orchestras from each other and from allegedly "lesser" ones, head over to Mystery Orchestra (http://www.good-music-guide.com/community/index.php/topic,1699.0.html) and analyze the samples of orchestral playing. You should all be able to instantly tell which of the orchestras in the samples are truly "big" ones, and which aren't, and which orchestras you are actually listening to. And also tell us why.
See you there!
The Berlin Philharmonic.
Question: your favourite five?
If I am supposed to choose five, why are there only five to choose from? :P
Conclusion: silly poll.
Q
Perhaps it's time I explained what I didn't think I'd have to when I created this (as M rightly puts it) 'pointless poll'. It was an act of lampoonery; a response to the other, very similar poll currently running, with its rather parochial (i.e. US-biased) focus. I had a fit of pique when I saw that other poll, and this one was my knee-jerk reaction. So of course, it wasn't meant to be taken seriously. And yes, Que, the grammar is poor ... all part of my lampoonery, you see? ;)
Anyway, with apologies to all who've posted here (thank you, anyway :)), and to the author of the poll which this one is mocking, I shall lock up here and let this nonsense die.
