Vienna Philharmonic booed

The world famous Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra was booed loudly by a Madrid audience for its playing of Ravel's Bolero.

The orchestra is known for its precision but there were shouts of "get out " when-- critics say --an oboe was out of tune, a horn hit a wrong note and a trombone played off-key.
