From its public debut in 1932, the London Philharmonic Orchestra has been an essential and innovative part of the music making in the capital and the country at large. Throughout the course of its history the orchestra has encountered many problems including financial worries, the continual struggles for survival during the Second World War and desertion by its founder.
But the problems encountered, and overcome, have been more than balanced by the orchestra's successes, ranging from the development of new audiences during the 'Blitz' tours of the Second World War, to post-war artistic triumphs under many of the great conductors of the day. Victor de Sabata, Eduard van Beinum, Sir Adrian Boult, Sir Georg Solti, Klaus Tennstedt and of course the orchestra's President, Bernard Haitink, are but a few of the names who have worked with the London Philharmonic during the past half century.
Written with the full collaboration of members of the London Philharmonic Orchestra and its administrative staff, past and present, this is the definitive biography of one of the world's great orchestras.
