>AG The Glyndebourne Festival Orchestra
In “Glyndebourne Recorded” by Paul Campion and Rosy Runciman (1994) it is asserted (on p.8) that “The orchestra which played at Glyndebourne from 1934 until 1939 ... was, in fact, the London Symphony, led by George Stratton.” That Stratton led both the London Symphony and the pre-war Glyndebourne Festival Orchestras is not disputed; the inference that the LSO played for Glyndebourne Festival Opera is more contentious. Like Albert Coates a decade earlier, and like several film studios in the decade ahead, John Christie apparently by-passed the Board of Directors and asked the LSO’s Secretary to engage the players required for his orchestra. George Stratton was probably involved in the selection and he was not exactly an LSO loyalist. He had joined the orchestra as a rank and file violinist in 1925, but was also Principal Second in the Queen’s Hall Orchestra and led his own string quartet. In 1929 he ceased playing with the LSO, though he retained his shares in the company. He was Principal Second in Beecham’s LPO for the 1932-33 season before being appointed Leader of the LSO in the summer of 1933. He held that position until 1952 but was at the same time not only Leader but also General Manager of the Queen’s Hall Orchestra following its reorganization in 1936. Clearly his contacts were such that Glyndebourne could depend on a substantial, but not an exclusive, LSO presence in the opera house pit. Personnel lists suggest that 28 of the 33 players in the Festival’s first season were members of the LSO, the proportion dropping to 25 out of 38 in 1937, and 30 out of 53 in 1939. The pre-war Glyndebourne Festival Orchestra recordings are therefore excluded from this survey, but full details may be found in “Glyndebourne Recorded”.

>AC Cinema Films made before 1968
Muir Mathieson, who was Musical Director of London Films from 1934, was a great proponent of the use of specially composed orchestral music in films and Denham Film Studios, opened in 1936, were accordingly designed to include provision for orchestral recording. Mathieson worked mainly with the LSO, but some members objected to the engagement of the orchestra for film sessions and during 1938 he used the title “London Film Symphony Orchestra” for some of his work. During World War II film work came to provide a substantial portion of the LSO’s income, but even in the early 1950s film sessions were not always listed as official engagements. Those entered in the schedules failed to identify the title of the film, so it has not been possible to date these sessions precisely from LSO sources – nor from elsewhere since filmographers usually date films by the first showing.
Between 1947 and 1959, Rank Films produced a series of more than a hundred ten inch 78rpm discs (the FM numbers apply to sides, not discs) containing excerpts from soundtracks. These were for archive or promotional purposes and not intended for commercial distribution, but a few were transferred to LP and (since the expiry of copyright) some have appeared on CD.
Some of the smaller film studios did not have the facilities for making orchestral recordings. For entries where the studio is listed in parentheses, the soundtrack was probably recorded elsewhere, perhaps Watford or Wembley Town Hall.
Soundtracks that were transferred, in part, to commercial 78rpm discs are listed in the main discography.
Like his predecessor in 1924, the LSO’s Secretary Arthur Maney was dismissed on 14 Nov 35 for taking fees for arranging engagements without notifying the Board of Directors. This came to light when he was found to have contracted for film sessions as “Manager of the players of the London Symphony Orchestra”. The Minutes reveal that the Board was concerned to prevent the use of the LSO’s name unless a fee was paid, but that a suitable payment could legitimate an unofficial booking. In dealing with this very grey area, the following criteria for inclusion have been adopted where no specific justification is given.
Entries for which the LSO’s on screen credit has been verified are marked OSC; those marked noc have no on screen credit for any orchestra. Films as yet unseen and marked BFI are attributed to the LSO on the British Film Institute’s website; those marked RFM evidently credit the LSO on the labels of the Rank Film Music 78rpm discs and entries marked HUN were attributed to the LSO by John Huntley in 1947.
There is no doubt that many other soundtracks not listed below were played by ad hoc studio orchestras including some members of the LSO.
