About
Sir Adrian Boult (1889-1983) was probably Britain's most authoritative interpreter of the music of Gustav Holst and Ralph Vaughan Williams. He formed close relationships with both composers, particularly with Vaughan Williams, giving premieres of three of his symphonies.

the pick of the present generous collection comprising his thrillingly powerful traversal with the BBC SO from the 1973 Proms of Holst’s The Planets. With Boult at the helm of the orchestra he founded, it’s a performance of towering authority, magnificently paced and totally gripping from first measure to last.
