Its players were drawn from the ranks of musicians in military bands stationed in and around London. If this appears to be a source of second rate musicians think again. the creme of London's younger orchestral players had been called up for war service and many of them allocated to military bands. The NSO personnel reads like a roll call of the best musicians such as Dennis Brain (horn) Gareth Morris (flute), William Waterhouse (bassoon), Sidney Griller (violin). With the end of hostilities in 1945 the orchestra soldiered on for another two years by which time most of the principals had been recruited into either the Philharmonia of Royal Philharmonic Orchestras. "What a musician! Cameron here conducts the lovelist performance of Dvoark's Eight Symphony I've ever heard, bar none, with playing to match. His Peer Gynt too, is fabulous" ***** for performance.
