Interesting little piece on how many microphones they use and what types. I think this URL should work. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c20dqz13475o

Ah, the good old Shure SM57 - what a mic! I have a recollection at one time they used the Calrec unit (Soundfield?) that had a 'Blumlein' crossed pair at the front and a single rearwards for effect hung above the conductor, with two 'fillers' half way across each side on the front line of the orchestra. I have a feeling this thread will be one of those that grows without boundaries!

Ranging from a flying spaced pair over the conductor's head to spotting every instrument... -- Tciao for Now! John.
