The National Symphony Orchestra and conductor Herbert Blomstedt did a fantastic job on both the Beethoven and R Strauss pieces. The orchestra is a full ensemble that includes harp, lots of strings and woodwinds, and an excellent drummer. It filled the stage almost to overflowing and they hit all the right notes in a performance that seemed unbeatable.
