    Harald and I have communicated by e-mail before. But good to see you here, mate! And yes, that's a great article. I seem to remember you have access to this newspaper archive service.

    This surely has to be one of the best ever first posts here! Thanks for the article; reading it makes me want to hear the symphony all the more now. 
     
    I really hope JW will revisit it one day and let it come out. 🙏🏻

    The symphony has actually been performed three times. I found a concert review in The Guardian from July 10 1972, and the LSO and Previn performed the symphony in Nottingham, the day after the London performance.

    I'll try!  Libby at the LSO has very kindly taken the time to furnish me with some fascinating information about the performance of John Williams's symphony from the LSO archives.  Firstly a slight correction to @Harald's post in that the Nottingham performance was actually the day before the London concert and was therefore the first UK performance of the symphony in its extensively revised version.  The London concert took place at the Royal Festival Hall the following day on Sunday 9th July 1972 at 7:30 p.m.  The programme was as follows:
     
    Ralph Vaughan Williams - The Wasps: Overture
    Jean Sibelius - Violin Concerto (soloist: Kyung Wha Chung)
     
    Interval
     
    John T. Williams - Symphony No. 1 (first performance in London)
    Allegro
    Andante sostenuto
    Maestoso : Allegro : Risoluto
    Manuel de Falla - Three-Cornered Hat: Dances
     
    The programme notes were written by music critic Denby Richards (father of the actor Gavin Richards who played Captain Bertorelli in 'Allo 'Allo ).  Here is an extract of the most relevant parts of the programme notes:
     
     
    Happy now?
