The RPO was founded in 1946 by Thomas Beecham and played its first concert in Croydon on September 15, 1946. Beecham was principal conductor until his death in 1961. He was followed by then assistant conductor Rudolf Kempe, who was given the title of Conductor for Life in 1970. Subsequent musical directors and principal conductors have been Antal Doráti (1975-78), Walter Weller (1980-85), André Previn (1985-92), Vladimir Ashkenazy (1987-94). Yuri Temirkanov was appointed principal conductor in 1992, and Daniele Gatti music director in 1996.
The orchestra toured the United States in 1950, thus becoming the first British orchestra to visit America since the London Symphony Orchestra in 1912.
As well as performing works from the classical repertoire, the RPO has recorded a number of film scores, including those for Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's The Red Shoes.

They had a single in the summer of 1981 called Hooked On Classics and also another single which was the BBC Grandstand Theme in 1982.
That's All
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you
A sunny day with bolts up to the sky
A kiss and no goodbye
That's all I want from you
Don't let me down, Oh show me that you care
Don't let me down, I have no time to waste
Tomorrow might not come, When dreamers dream too late
A little love that slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you
Music interlude
Don't let me down, Oh show me that you care
Remember when you give, You also get your share
Don't let me down, I have no time to waste
Tomorrow might not come, When dreamers dream too late
[Repeat first verse]
That's all I want from you
The song "That's All" by The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is a simple yet powerful plea for a stable and lasting love. The lyrics express the desire for a love that slowly builds and grows over time instead of one that is fleeting and short-lived. The singer requests a love that is not just physical but emotional, the kind that will last a lifetime. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been hurt in the past and has learned to be cautious about love. The refrain "Don't let me down" reinforces the singer's vulnerability and the importance of trust in a relationship.
The second half of the lyrics express the need for immediate action from the other person. The singer emphasizes the urgency of the situation as they say, "I have no time to waste / Tomorrow might not come, When dreamers dream too late". This suggests that the singer is afraid of missing out on a chance for love or that time is running out. The song ends with a repeat of the first verse, emphasizing the singer's hopes and desires for a love that lasts.
