A rather snide response. I have no problem with former Eastern Block orchestras performing dates but once they get paid at an appropiate rate. The problem here was the fact that large Irish government subsides both direct and indirect, were subsidising the festival which was hiring musicians at fees inappropiate for the professionalism required. That was not to say that they were incapable of doing the work, just not being treated properly. If you value the work of musicians irrespective of their nationality, you must agree that they have the right to earn a living at a respectful wage not to be made little of.
