专辑介绍

Here is buried treasure, pure and simple. Given Adrian Boult's towering authority in the key classics, it seems extraordinary to relate that his only commercial recording of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony dates all the way back to the days of shellac. Ravel's great ballet score Daphnis et Chloe was another cornerstone of the Boult repertory that never appeared on vinyl, so let joy be doubly unconfined for this exemplary BBC Legends reissue. Boult's wonderfully wise, utterly unforced performance of the Schubert is an absolute joy, while the Second Suite from Daphnis is invested with an intriguingly stately, yet ultimately overwhelming symphonic strength. Bizet's Jeux d'enfants (yet another delectable, tenderly moving display) was also on the programme of that July 1964 Prom with the Philharmonia, whereas the compellingly taut and rugged account of Sibelius's Seventh Symphony was taped by the BBC at a March 1963 Royal Festival Hall concert with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The remastering of all this stereo material is first-rate, as is Rob Cowan's personable and perceptive booklet note. To sum up, then, a disc no connoisseur of great conducting can afford to be without. --Andrew Achenbach

Showmanship, flamboyance and any kind of self-advertisement were foreign to Boult's personality, which is perhaps why he remains under-represented on CD and underrated by the wider public. In his day, he pioneered repertoire as varied as Berg's Wozzeck, Schoenberg's Variations and Busoni's Doktor Faust, not to mention Bax, Vaughan Williams and many young British composers. This issue serves as a reminder of his stature and the quiet, natural dignity (not a quality much prized these days) that informed his music-making. The Bizet, Schubert and Ravel come from a 1964 Prom and the Sibelius from a Festival Hall concert given the preceding year. I remember hearing him conduct Daphnis in the early Fifties and being astonished by the slow tempo he took in 'Lever du jour' (as he does here in the Suite No. 2), but subsequently learnt that in the Twenties he had heard Ravel conduct it, whose tempo he naturally adopted. His account has a finely controlled sensuousness that is very persuasive. In the Unfinished, there is the unforced eloquence that distinguished his famous Great C major, and an appropriate lightness of touch and elegance in Bizet's Jeux d'enfants. Anyone who remembers Boult's set of the Sibelius tone poems from the Fifties will have high expectations of his Seventh Symphony and will not be disappointed. This is attentively shaped and finely paced.
