in 1964 legge thought the orchestra had done enough recordings and he was going to bring it to an end. both the orchestra and klemperer wanted it to continue, so the orchestra made their own organizing body (like other london orchestras) and they continued, calling themselves by a new name: the "new philharmonia orchestra". they gave their first concert under their new name on 27 october 1964. it was a performance of beethoven's "symphony no. 9", conducted by klemperer.
