The Philadelphia sound

Others call it lush, but it always seemed to me to be just a lazy, sloppy, annoying -- fingernails-on-a-blackboard annoying -- way that the violins had of playing not quite together. Well, now I know how they make that sound, and I can see that it's neither lazy nor sloppy.

It's still fingernails-on-a-blackboard annoying, however.
