No, that's bullshit. If they weren't talented they wouldn't be a renowned orchestra that doubles as a broadcasting and national orchestra, perform internationally and in 20 home-based concerts each year. It's not like the foreigners that the orchestra plays to think to themselves "oh great here comes that irritating damn orchestra again, I'd better pay hundreds of euros/whatever to see them perform music and grit my teeth and bear it."
The problem you have with the orchestra is to do with the music that was written for them by Murray Gold, so don't insult and orchestra that is doing as it's told, and, in my opinion, doing it fantastically well.

I agree. The National Orchestra of Wales is capable of some very nuanced performances; Fischer is a superb conductor.

All I know is that this orchestra couldn't time the Doctor Who theme well enough to synchronize their performance with the Derbyshire elements. Then suddenly when the BBC Proms orchestra came along, "hey look, it's the Derbyshire elements playing right in time with the orchestra!" I tried matching Derbyshire elements to the recording of the Children in Need concert myself, and it took 27 edits (no exaggeration) to make the themes line up, even after I had synchronized the themes' tempos. "Atrocious" would be too kind a word to describe their musical timing. I am personally of the belief that the orchestra is completely untalented. I have more of a problem with them than I have with Murray Gold. I've analyzed the timing of some of their tracks myself, and it's atrocious. You guys can defend them as much as you like, but I will never believe that they are a particularly talented orchestra.

First rate work as always. The electronic track reminds me a little bit of the Howell version bassline. I strongly recommend that you submit this updated classic to Whomix.

As it should. The emphasized second layer is an idea that stems from the Howell version, and I made the sound quite similar as well.

I shall consider it.
