The sound is not good, but here's Boult's 1971 film The Point of the Stick. The copy was obtained from the Canada 150 Archive. Moura Lympany and John Carol Case also appear.

Originally posted by seabright View PostThey might indeed. The Wagner excerpt I originally uploaded has been removed on copyright grounds. However, the complete concert from which it came is still viewable, very curiously, though for how long remains to be seen ... Here it is anyway, so take a quick peek before it too disappears ... :) ...

The Robert Simpson Society website claims that his compositions are "significant monuments to 20th century music" but that "recognition" of his achievements have been slow and that it is "likely to be some time" before they're fully appreciated. I don't know now often any of his eleven symphonies have been performed since his death in 1997, either here or abroad, but I doubt if any of them have entered the general repertoire, let alone heard with any frequency on the radio. Some commentators reckon his 3rd Symphony is one of his best and it certainly received a powerful Proms Premiere in 1967 from Charles Groves. However, I wonder how many performances it has had since then? ...

I've no idea if his compositions are significant monuments (don't forget there are 15 String Quartets too,some gems amonst them) but I am so grateful for the wonderful Hyperion recordings that keep his music alive for a seemingly small group of enthusiasts.
A new cycle of the Quartets form the Magginis would maybe generate some new interest,c'mon Naxos you know it makes sense“Music is the best means we have of digesting time." — Igor Stravinsky
