>> Great players are all over the place and auditions are hard to actually win. >>

It's worth amplifying this a little bit.

I'd say that GREAT players are in just as short supply as they always have been. It's highly competent players that are all over the place.

Added to that: an audition is a blunt tool for finding the great – as opposed to the highly competent – player.

People here are often surprised that orchestras are tentative in their appointments. "WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR?" we hear.

The answer lies in what I wrote above.
