I've come to the conclusion over the past few years that the Danish National Symphony is the movie music orchestra par excellence, almost without peer. Oh and let's never ever overlook the jewel in that crown - the beauty, dramatic verve, and incredible talent that is Tuva!

[@Gareethtw]

Almost? Who would you say are better? They do plenty of non-movie music including even the pieces people view as classical despite the whole technically a lot of movies have music that fits the classical genre as do many computer games, Still they do the usual stuff too Still as a very real strength is the commitment to the piece that when they play something like Bolero they look much the same as other symphonies - without a doubt they play extremely well but so do many symphonies

[@skifteku]

Tuva is actually Norwegian ;)

[@alexs.1242]

#agree Thing is, the DNSO (DR Koncerthuset) takes the material seriously; there's none of the snobbery and condescension of some of Europe's better known and more prestigious symphony orchestras - you know the ones I mean - and none of the laziness of more the commercially driven lesser orchestras. The Danish National Symphony takes the works of Howard Shore, John Williams and others seriously, and it shows. Fine works, performed by a fine orchestra. And while I'm on this, I have a lot of time - a lot of time - for Tuva Semmingsen. And not just because she's "the wa-wa lady."

[@Agrivandal]

I’d say the swedish radio orchestra is pretty high in my list also even if there’s no choirs and such (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJW5oX2cjb2ifKssi=eBDuwwNpju3n01G8)

[@Benefacez]

​@@alexs.1242Not only do they take the pieces seriously, they go all in to make the audience feel at home. Not to mention the video production is unmatched, it makes all the difference in the world. ❤

[@eveblack7304]

The drummer looks like he is having the time of his life!

[@Gareethtw]

A better drummer gig is fairly hard to imagine. I'd heard of pits for drummers but did not anticipate having to play in one when a foundation who always insisted our non-profit was one of their favourites and they did not typically have music at there galas What was worse was after our ensemble had played or during I suppose they came up with other ways they needed me in the pit and due to the whole we every so often needed a grant for them , so I am in a hole cram packed with every type of percussion ever needed , I am both tall and have broad shoulders so moving was a challenge and well a bit of my head was right where people usually entered, They seemed to think this was fixable by me despite there not really being room for slouching Who knows how many drummers are being put in a hole every day but being one is filled with misadventure as it is needed way too often So of course he looks happy who knows what went on when he was younger I almost never had to play in a pit and yet after the first time a bitt of room to move and good sightlines and well not having people trip over my head all gained value, Things that I had not thought to worry about,

[@taylor4569]

Even though I am not a part of our national orchestra, I have an enormous pride in our Orchestra! This is what we (among so many other things) get when we pay our taxes for the common good. Money for many things but so important that we never forget the arts. This is what makes people feel, think and wonder! Out national orchestra truly is one of a kind with their amazing musicians, settings and audio production!

[@plainkeeperathome]

Excellent playing on the Gollumophone. A unique instrument for sure

[@fernhausluv44]

I've heard it rumoured among the Elves of old it takes hundreds of years of regret, isolation, mountaineering, and raw fish just to master it. Not many music sheets are written for the Gollumophone either, quite a dedicated craftsman.

[@patrykborowski8798]

Definitely one of the hardest instruments to master my precious.

[@jacksonscott3667]

It’s certainly a rare sight to see such an experienced Gollumophone player, especially since every one has to have mastered the Smeagolhorn before they even begin playing.
