The following review of this LP is from "The New Records," V. 25 Mar-Feb. 1957-58:

Music from the Hoffnung Music Festival Concert.

Morley College Symphony Orchestra, with Dennis Brain (hosepipe), Yvonne Arnaud (piano), other instrumentalists and musical (?) effects, all supervised and directed by Gerald Hoffnung.

CONTENTS: Introduction by T. E. Bean; Fanfare (Baines); A Grand, Grand Overture (Arnold); Concerto for Hosepipe and Strings 3rd movement (L. Mozart); Concerto Popolare (Reizenstein) ; Symphony No. 94 in G ("Surprise") Andante (Haydn arr. Swann); Mazurka No. 49 in A minor, Op. 68, No. 2 (Chopin arr. Abrams); Lochinvar (for speakers and percussion) (Searle); Variations on "Annie Laurie" (Jacob).

This LP disc is utterly beyond description! We can only hope to give the reader some idea of what awaits him when he (gently) places his stylus in the opening groove. Gerald Hoffnung is a British cartoonist who has been satirising music, via his cartoons, for years, depicting weird instruments with zany players; his latest book, Hoffnung Music Festival, was dedicated to the Morley College Symphony Orchestra and its conductor, Lawrence Leonard, and during some discussions between Hoffnung and his publisher, it was decided to make an attempt to bring his book to life. The present recording contains excerpts from this actual concert.

The program opens with a roll of drums and a dashing fanfare of trumpets that ends in a sad plop. Malcolm Arnold's A Grand, Grand Overture is scored for orchestra, organ, rifles, 3 Hoover vacuum cleaners (2 upright in B-flat, 1 horizontal with detachable sucker in C), and an electric floor polisher. The late Dennis Brain makes a hosepipe (only genuine garden hose used) sound amazingly musical in Leopold Mozart's Concerto (originally for alpenhorn). The Concerto Pookre exhibits a clash of wills between conductor, who presumes that he is directing the Tchaikovsky Concerto, and soloist who thought that the Grieg Concerto was to be played. The Andante from Haydn's "Surprise" Symphony contains many surprises that Haydn never thought of. Impresario Hoffnung joins three other tuba players in the Chopin Mazurka; it is the funniest for us. Gordon Jacob's Variations on "Annie Laurie'' features the following instruments: heckelphone, 2 contrabass clarinets, 2 contra-bassoons, hurdy-gurdy, serpent (looks like a bassoon that melted, then hardened in the shape of a huge snake), contrabass serpent, subcontrabass tuba (invented and played by Hoffnung), harmonium and 2 piccolos.
