The Philharmonia Orchestra
London's Philharmonia Orchestra started its life as a studio orchestra, only occasionally giving live concerts. Over the years, they've transformed into a more typical orchestra, giving up studio headphones in favor of tuxes and gowns. We'll hear them twice today, performing Brahms' Fourth Symphony, and the final two movements of Schubert's Ninth Symphony ("The Great").
