Is the naxos CD 'Christmas festival' by 'philharmonic symphony orchestra and choir' with Richard hayman a fake as I can find no record this 'philharmonic symphony choir' ever existed?

Yes, I believe it must be. There seem to be many Philharmonic Symphony Orchestras, and even Philharmonic Symphony Choirs, but they all have the names of the places where they are in front of them; like London, Calgary, St. Louis, etc. This particular Orchestra seems never to have existed. Perhaps it was just put together by friends Hayman had in various orchestras unofficially, for these recordings, and that is what he called them for a few brief months in 1989? More like a spontaneous rock band than an orchestra, which is more like a company in that continues from year to year, perhaps...
