Cellist Julian Lloyd Webber has “no sympathy for the shrill squeaks emanating from the Beethoven Orchestra of Bonn’s violin section, whose players are demanding more euros than the rest of the orchestra because they play more notes… An undoubted compensation of orchestral playing is the companionship among the musicians, who have a camaraderie that soloists rarely experience. Ours is a world where ships often pass in the night but seldom dock in the same port.”
