From all the other lists I've seen, Dresden Staatskapelle has always been 10th. You might want to check on that.

Surprising absence of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. A few years ago I feel sure they'd have been near the top. How are the mighty fallen !

No Philadelphia either. Remotely possible that this list is a little Eurocentric, but if you can't trust Gramophone, what's left?

Nice to see quizzes relating to classical music. I was surprised not to find Birmingham on here, too (and I'm American).

Czech Philharmonic Orchestra is the most bestest ever.
