Recent Performances
The work's documented (?) recent performance history is brief, and consists of a 1989 studio recording by Bryden Thomson and the BBC Welsh Symphony Orchestra and (later broadcast) performance by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Nicholas Kok in May 2001. This (same) performance was broadcast in 2007 as part of a complete Simpson Symphony cycle over BBC Radio 3.

Famous quotes containing the word performances:
“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“This play holds the season’s record [for early closing], thus far, with a run of four evening performances and one matinee. By an odd coincidence it ran just five performances too many.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
