Notes:

A pirated recording. The text below was taken from stokowski.org and havergalbrian.org respectively:

Stokowski had given hundreds of premieres over six decades of conducting, and in a BBC concert with the New Philharmonia in 1973 he gave his last - the 28th Symphony of Havergal Brian.  The composer had once described Stokowski as "an individual genius" adding that "it would be an event to hear him perform a symphony of mine".  Stokowski had heard a tape of Brian's Sinfonia Tragica and because of his interest in the work, the BBC producer and composer Robert Simpson sent him the scores of several unperformed Brian symphonies so that he could select one for a "first performance".  Stokowski chose No. 28 - a work Brian had written at the age of 91.  Stokowski was himself 91 when he conducted it, causing reviewer Anthony Payne to contemplate "the uniqueness of the event". A "pirate" LP was issued in California ascribed to Horst Werner and the Hamburg Philharmonic Orchestra (Aries Records LP1607).
