“It was agreed to allow the Argo Record Company to make test records of parts of the rehearsals and performances in the Royal Festival Hall on the 4th and 6th June, 1954.” (LSO Minute Book, 31 May 54) The first concert was a Beethoven programme, the second Vaughan Williams, Rawsthorne (with Clifford Curzon) and Walton, all conducted by Josef Krips. Nothing seems to have come of this.
