It is hard to say what happened to them. Earlier this year we heard them in Carnegie Hall with Bruckner 5 and they demonstrated pretty much the same play. It is kind of interesting as they do have an amassing class of playing. Not by reputation but by the actual playing and it is very clear might be heard during the event at Albert Hall. Some very complex things they did very extremely complicated and extremely beautifully, at the same time then sometimes, and particularly at the beginning were failing some very simplistic things.
Still, so not let my criticism of a few VPO members to destruct you from a truly stunning performance. With all problems that VPO demonstrated you will need to go over 100s of performances of Bruckner 8 and you would hardly ever come across as beautiful as the one from Albert Hall 2 weeks back. The VPO bloopers are occasional, mostly at beginning and no uglier than any other mid-town orchestra playing live. You will very soon forget it. The core of VPO sound is still very much there and a full blow of VPO, lash, unhurried, orgasmaticly gradual and painfully tonal still will blow your mind with this music. I wish everyone who read this site listen this Albert Hall performance for a few times. THIS music in THIS interpretation is as high-end listening as it could be.
