What's with the NY Phil?

We watched the NY Eve performance of the NY Philharmonic on tape last night. They played Tchaikovsky 1st Pia concerto wonderfully with Yang Yang.

For the second half, they played the second act of The Nutcracker Ballet. For this, the staffing of the woodwinds changed in what seemed to me to be an odd way. A third flutist joined the corps and seemed to take over the principle's job (or at least double the first part). 2nd flute too up her piccolo. A third clarinetist turned up, and the woman on 2nd moved to bass clarinet. The single oboist from the concerto played English horn, and two other oboists came on board.

Oh, and the concert mistress was displaced by a new fellow.

The principal clarinetist played the beautiful exposed lead part of the Waltz of the Flowers astonishingly well --leaving me to wondering "how he did that." ..and his A didn't have the gaudy cocobollo barrel he uses on his Bb.

What great music, and so few woodwind players able to be involved in its generation.
