　　The Proms recording of Brahms’s Symphony No.3 from 1977 is in superb stereo and represents Boult’s ‘golden years’. He recorded two cycles of Brahms symphonies in 1954 and in the 1970s but all in the studio, whereas this ICA recording catches him ‘live’ producing a sense of drama and passion. Martin Cotton comments in his booklet notes, ‘Perhaps most surprising is the final Allegro where there is an organic shape to the movement which doesn’t compare with the rather more staid LSO (studio) recording of seven years earlier.’ In his notes, Martin Cotton emphatically states that the 1976 ‘live’ recording in wonderful stereo of Elgar’s Symphony No.1 from the Proms, ‘is completely astonishing’. Boult, one of the last living conductors to have known Elgar, had effectively been blessed by him: ‘I feel that my reputation in the future is safe in your hands’ – and here he gives what is arguably his greatest performance of the work. Cotton attended the 1976 concert and describes it as ‘one of the greatest musical experiences of my life’.
　　·
　　Boult’s recent recording of Brahms’s Symphony No.1 coupled with Elgar’s Enigma Variations (ICAC5019) was acclaimed in International Record Review: ‘This is a very powerful reading, from the quite fast introduction of the first movement to the triumphal close. Much the same can be said of the Elgar “Enigma” Variations from the Royal Albert Hall Centenary Concert in 1971, again with the BBCSO. Boult keeps “Nimrod” flowing, but in the finale his speeds are more flexible – starting steadily, then pushing on. It all works extremely well.’

　　This CD represents stunning value at over 81 minutes long.

The autumnal Brahms Third and wonderful Elgar First(转发)

These are two live concerts, delivered in good FM-stereo broadcast sound, of Boult late in life. The Brahms Third dates from the summer of 1977 at the Proms - the conductor was 88 - and the Elgar First from the summer before. (It's astonishing to think of B... (展开)

Boult at His Best

"With the BBC SO playing their hearts out for their distinguished founder, this is a traversal of towering perception, possessing and edge-of-seat thrust, entrancing wholeness of vision and extraordinary emotional candour not quite equalled by any of Sir Ad... (展开)
