What I marvel at with this orchestra is that Iceland is a country of about 300,000 people. So not even a large American city. And yet they can produce this fine an orchestra, largely comprised of natives. You could probably put together an excellent orchestra in Chicago, New York, or LA with people born/raised there, but not really anywhere else.
The Nordic countries have excellent education systems, so maybe that has something to do with it? Also if it’s dark & cold much of the year, I think they have more practice time (as well as a rich story-telling tradition to draw from). I’m def no expert, but I remember having similar realization when Swedish metal bands started getting popular in the US. Like how could Gothenburg produce THAT many great bands w/ that level of technical prowess & creativity?!

@@goclimbsomething Definitely agree about the excellent education system, but 300,000 is still a very small population to draw from.

BRAVO
Are you aware this director skipped many sections? He practically wiped his ass with the score
WHY THE HELL DID YOU SKIP THE CLIMAX OF THE DANSE RELIGIEUSE, THAT'S SUPER DISRESPECTFUL TO RAVEL AND ONE OF THE BEST SECTIONS OF THIS MASTERPIECE
bro took it personally
@@deadsparksgamingchannel yes
@@gvidalq I just noticed that. It's literally my favorite part of the whole piece and they skipped it 😞
