  London Philharmonic Orchestra (Symphony Orchestra) - Short History
It was a telling debut for the London Philharmonic Orchestra (= LPO) which was founded by Sir Thomas Beecham from the players in the country with the intention that it should be THE London orchestra, a counterpart to the orchestras of Vienna and Berlin.
In September 1992, the LPO was appointed Resident Symphony Orchestra at the South Bank Centre, performing in the Royal festival Hall in London.
The LPO is unique amongst London orchestras in its 33 year summer residency at the Glyndebourne Festival Opera in Sussex.

 Carnegie Hall: London Philharmonic Orchestra
The London Philharmonic Orchestra is not to be confused with the more prestigious and refined London Symphony Orchestra (a similar confusion exists between the superb Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and the more pedestrian Vienna Symphony Orchestra).
The London Philharmonic Orchestra is a serviceable group which plays in the pit at the Glyndebourne Opera in the summer, makes numerous soundtrack recordings, and prides itself on educational outreach work.
Masur, despite being the London Philharmonic Orchestra’s principal conductor, seemed to have little rapport with the orchestra.

 CMT.com : London Philharmonic Orchestra : Biography
It was proposed that the ensemble, to be called the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, would serve as the orchestra for both the BBC and the Royal Philharmonic Society.
Beginning in that season, the Society changed its arrangement: The Philharmonic gave only three of the eight annual concerts a year, while the remaining five were divided among the BBC Orchestra, the London Symphony, the Hallé Orchestra, and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic.
From this lowlight the Philharmonic's standards and financial situation slowly improved through the 1960s and 1970s, aided by the leadership and acumen of such distinguished figures as Adrian Boult, William Steinberg, John Pritchard, and Georg Solti.

In the opening movement of the First Symphony the orchestra’s reading was elegant but Masur’s approach, despite the very fast tempi, failed to convey the overall feeling of gaiety and happiness.
The orchestra’s playing was largely without contrast, and this was especially so when the second theme emerged from the winds to be taken up by the first violins.
Without metaphysical demonstration, the orchestra stated dramatically the “fanfare of terror” and expressed perfectly all the movement’s different moods until the first statement of the main theme, “Ode to Joy” on the woodwinds.

 LONDON PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA - RECORDINGS
These remarkable, recently discovered recordings by the London Philharmonic Orchestra of music by Sibelius, Mozart and Handel from the 1934 Leeds Festival are conducted by the legendary Sir Thomas Beecham, who had founded the Orchestra just two years earlier.
Founder of the London Philharmonic Orchestra Sir Thomas Beecham began building the Orchestra's long association with the music of Sibelius from the day it was born.
Klaus Tennstedt was totally dedicated to the London Philharmonic Orchestra — a dedication which was reciprocated by the Orchestra’s musicians, staff and audiences, and which pervades these live performances from 1992.

 David Wilkins listens to the London Philharmonic Youth Orchestra in Eastbourne
Thanks to the advances in the technical skills of young players, we have come, over recent years, to expect to be able to judge the playing of major youth orchestras by the highest of standards.
On a previous visit to the Congress, the London Philharmonic Youth Orchestra gave a performance of Elgar 1 that came close to achieving professional status.
This time around, from the unenthusiastic nature of their demeanour, via some poor tuning and shoddy ensemble, they seemed to be demanding that too many allowances be made for their comparative inexperience.

 London Philharmonic Orchestra MP3 Downloads - London Philharmonic Orchestra Music Downloads - London Philharmonic ...
Killing Joke members Youth and Jaz Coleman thought symphonic versions of songs from Pink Floyd classics Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall would be a good idea, and they were half right.
Compare that to the arrangement of "Time" that opens the album: the original's compelling percussion is sorely missed, and the brass section's performance of the vocal line sounds like a marching band at half time.
"Breathe" and "Money" also suffer from the orchestra's rigid sense of time, robbing the songs of their dark side.

This "highlights" recording, one of the most recent of the Chandos "Opera in English" series, is a superlative issue that must be heard by all lovers of Richard Strauss and fine singing.
The success of this performance is also due to the excellent musical support given by the London Philharmonic and conductor David Parry.
Those concerned by the fact that this recording is given in English translation need not be; the translation is singer friendly (though not all the words are audible), and the standard of performance is such as to almost make no difference.
