I just wanted to see if I could get an interesting debate started here. The question I pose is: What, in your opinion, is the world's best orchestra currently? Or if you prefer, what was the best orchestra throughout history? And, of course, why do you feel that the orchestra or orchestras you named are the best?

I'm going to say that I think that the New York Philharmonic and London Symphony are the current best orchestras, judging from the strength ("depth" in sports terminology) of all the players. Of course, I have to do a lot more listening before I can adequately defend that opinion. What do you guys think? Let's hear it.
