I don't know, but I saw their conductor Marin Alsop guest conduct another orchestra with great authority. She is a musician with much to say musically. All conductors should be so lucky. All symphonies would be lucky to have her. I'm sure Melbourne must by default be a crack group.

Are we talking about the same orchestra here ?.
AFIK Marin Alsop has never conducted the Australian MSO and there is no reference to it on her website timeline which can be found at http://www.marinalsop.com/timeline.html.
In my humble parochial opinion though the MSO stacks up well against the other majors in this smallish country (Australia) and has toured overseas extensively as have the Sydney and Tasmanian symphony orchestras.
Just as an aside I have learned more about clarinet in two and a bit years with an ex principal clarinettist from the MSO than I did in the previous fifty.

Snowy - Alsop conducted both Sydney and Melbourne Symphonies on her last Australian tour.
The MSO is one of the world's finest orchestra, to be sure.
Without music, the world would be grey, very grey.

You know, I need to just sit down and take my meds. Perhaps I just have trouble with those "funny," foreign sounding names. Mistook Bournemouth for Melbourne. I have become my father.

P.S. Marin Alsop is still a fine conductor.

Melbourne is one of my favourite cities with what I regard as the best orchestra in Australia.
