Boult Great Conductors Of The20th Century

Sir Adrian Boult (1889-1983)


All these rare recordings, with the exception of a stunning Theme & Variations from Tchaikovsky's Suite No.3, are issued on CD for the first time. With the exception of Walton's 'Portsmouth Point', the repertoire is non-British and accurately reflects Boult's wide musical sympathies
