And they’re up for messing around, they’re up for exploring, they’re up for humiliating themselves musically, which not a great deal of orchestras are. Being able to play with an orchestra that has that requirement, however likewise that versatility, which I was able to draw some more uncommon, more intriguing noises out of, was an outright pleasure.”
