  • Description

    "Another legend for whom to find a bit of extra shelf space is conductor Adrian Boult, whose Decca Legacy has been released across three indispensable volumes. […] while all have their draws, the 'British' selection is comprehensive and includes unreleased Holst recordings and a feast of Vaughan Williams." - BBC Music Magazine

    "'The Decca Legacy' showcases items that might reasonably be defined as 'timeless' alongside those whose qualities are merely 'of their time'. […] These swankily packaged sets will delight Boult mavens and more general collectors. Vol 1 at least is a must-have." - Gramophone

    "This may well be a relatively painless and conductor-focused opportunity to acquire a swathe of these splendid recordings." – MusicWeb International
