        Has he ever conducted an Elgar symphony?
        No, but he did conduct the Elgar Serenade and the Introduction and Allegro in Munich in 2016. It was evidently issued on a 'Medici TV' DVD and 3 minutes of the Serenade are on YouTube ...

            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.

                    They 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? ...

                        Robert Simpson (1921-1997) was an English composer and long-time BBC producer. He wrote 11 Symphonies, as well as concertos and chamber music, and was a part...

                          I've just notice from RT that the 'Vienna Summer Night Concert' from the other day, with the VPO cond. VG, is on BBC 4 tonight at 7:30 pm.

                            Indeed. I will have a go with get_iplayer. Should make a better job of saving it than what Video Downoadhelper captured. The video definition from the latter was nothing to write home about.

                              I really don't understand Robert Simpson's neglect,recognition of his achievements slow ? it's virtually non existant.
                              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
