Now that I actually have ten favorite orchestras (in no particular order):

Vienna Philharmonic
Berlin Philharmonic
Chicago Symphony
Israel Philharmonic
London Philharmonic
New York Philharmonic
Cincinnati Symphony
Lahti Symphony
San Francisco Symphony
Boston Symphony

And a random fact I just realized: this is one of the very few posts I make that does not use an ellipsis!
