For any lovers of Vaughan Williams's "London" Symphony, here it is in what I think is a terrific performance, excellently played by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in a 1999 radio broadcast. The conductor was Richard Hickox but unfortunately the audience was stuffed with a hefty coughing brigade ... :( ...

They marked Stokowski's 138th Birthday on Breakfast yesterday (b.18 April 1882) with his recording of the "Coriolan" overture. He died in 1977 aged 95 and as that was 43 years ago I wonder if anyone these days, though now getting on in years (!) can still remember see him as youngsters. It was remarkable that at the age of 90 he was able to conduct an immensely long programme at the RFH, standing throughout, despite being rather frail ...

There's a quite remarkable 'Vitaphone' "short" dating back to 1926 in which the New York Philharmonic play a somewhat abridged performance of the "Tannhauser" Overture under Henry Hadley, a name I'm not familiar with. What is extraordinary about this very early 'sound' film is the audio quality ...

Seems that Albert Ketèlbey was Britain's first millionaire composer - which I take to mean who earned £1m from his music. There may have been other millionaires who dabbled in music, but music wasn't their main field.

If memory serves, Croydon audiences were notoriously conservative, although a particular 'take' such as this would probably not have disturbed them too much. One programme during the 1970s/1980s featured a Bax symphony. Reviewing the concert, the local music critic reported that the members of the audience occupying cheaper seats were invited to move forward, thereby completely filling the first 3 rows.
