What would it take to create a British orchestra of the stature of the Berlin Philharmonic?

Simple. Pay them more and work them less

A piece by me in today's Comment pages and on CiF ponders the unpopular question of why no British orchestra quite reaches the dizzy heights of the Berlin Phil. And it's not to do with the quality of the players. A lively debate has ensued over on CiF.
