Great, authentic interpretations from Elgar's friend
02/02/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Boult first met Elgar when he was 14. He watched him conduct and later worked with him. Temperamentally, he was rather like the composer - reserved and 'private' on the surface, full of musicality and strong feeling beneath. These performances from the very early 50s - particularly 'Falstaff' and the Nursery Suite - are full of life, vigour, poetry and insight. The LPO was in difficulties at the time, financially, recovering from the War years, and the playing is rough in places, but it almost makes the whole thing more human. They really are wonderful performances and, now, a bit of history. Very strongly recommended."
