The Philharmonia is an orchestra based in London.
The orchestra was founded in 1945 by Walter Legge, and although it did give the occasional live concert, it was mainly intended to be a recording orchestra for EMI, where Legge was an executive.
The inaugural concert of the New Philharmonia Orchestra under its own auspices took place on 27 October 1964.

Both works were typically polished – a Muti and Philharmonia trait – but neither performance lacked drama, and in the case of the Beethoven conductor and soloist lived dangerously.
Largely, Muti and the Philharmonia were exemplary with dynamics (there was some gorgeous pianissimo playing), though one would have preferred a more cogent sense of space and balance between the trombone and horn calls in the Scherzo (though, notably, Muti does give the solo trombone towards the close a sense of unique splendour).
The triplets of the final movement’s Allegro vivace were quite magnificently articulated by the Philharmonia, but it was the shock of the coda which added true gravity to this performance.

Delivered with a profundity which lent the work even more dignity and pathos than usual, the Philharmonia strings wisely avoided the pitfall of saccharine sound, and David Zinman conducted the elegiac score with reserve and refinement.
In the scintillating cadenza, the Philharmonia strings’ pizzicato tremolando served as a carpet of fluttering butterfly wings for Gilman’s glittering, razor-sharp tone which sounded like shards of silver light: this was simply sublime playing from both soloist and orchestra.
This strong, direct performance was reminiscent of Toscanini’s 1952 Philharmonia RFH performance with its total grasp of the score’s structure and dynamic.

 Giulini And The Philharmonia Orchestra In Treasurable Concert Performances Review By Max Westler
Coincidentally, the then 41-year-old maestro made his debut with both the Philharmonia and the Chicago Symphony in the same year, l955.
There is, in fact, an earlier recording of the Dvorak (again with the Philharmonia) on EMI, and that performance -- like other examples of early Giulini -- favors brisk, athletic tempos and lean sonorities, and is very tightly organized.
There are, truth be told, many terrific recordings of this work, but this version captures Giulini and the Philharmonia at their most personable, sparkling, and expressive.

 classical music - andante - new zealand's auckland philharmonia gives musicians more power
The Auckland Philharmonia of New Zealand is turning over more power to musicians in a restructuring of its board, the orchestra announced Wednesday.

The shift toward a cooperative model of governance — one finding increasing acceptance in the orchestral world — came after a lengthy review of the Philharmonia's structure and of the practices of other orchestras, according to the statement.
