I just wanted to let everyone know that the Vienna Philharmonic is the greatest orchestra in the world. There is simply no comparison or contest. No - not New York, not Chicago, not London, not even Berlin. Wiener Philharmoniker reigns supreme in the music world.

Are you speaking for the present moment only, or for all-time? Just wondering if it is based on the current players, of if past accomplishments are figured into this opinion?
Because everyone knows that Berlin under Furtwangler was the best ever.
