December 2008
was happy to encounter Beulah's expert transfer/remastering of Sir Adrian Boult's first recording of Schubert's Ninth, a brilliantly executed performance (BBCSO), swift and breezy, and, as almost always with Boult, acutely structure-conscious
February 2009
The first thing that strikes the listener is the fine quality of the sound and the silent surfaces for a 75 year old recording. In addition the orchestral balance is excellent...Boult delivers a truly supurb performance: if this does not convince those who never heard him as to his greatness as a conductor, then nothing will.
This is a splendid disc! Although Boult recorded this work towards the end of his life, with the London Philharmonic, this performance has a freshness and sparkle...The notes in the booklet are good and the transfers have been achieved with care, cleaned up, and are full of bloom and presence.
