Re: The right tone for French music

I think what we're all saying is that nowadays every orchestra, anywhere in the world, pretty much sounds like any other orchestra (variations in technical competence aside). The distinct 'national' styles of playing are a thing of the past, and the days of being able to pick out a particular orchestra based on the tone quality of one of its principal players are gone too.

Globalization has made orchestral listening boring, in my opinion. Everyone can play anything note-perfectly, but everyone sounds alike. Conductors jet all over the world following the money, hardly any of them stay with one orchestra for more than a decade, so there are no strong stylistic imprints on a given orchestra's playing either.

I wonder if anything will change post-COVID?
