In 1975 alone, Andre Previn's Music Night got 13 outings across BBC1 and BBC2. Over the same 12 months, the two channels also featured performances by the London Philharmonic (2), the BBC Symphony Orchestra (2, outside the Proms), the English Chamber Orchestra (2), the Halle, the Boston Pops, the Israeli Phil, the Vienna Phil, the BBC Northern Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Welsh Symphony Orchestra, and Aaron Copland conducting the LSO.
