"Back in 1920, having heard the young Adrian Boult conduct the Second Symphony, Sir Edward Elgar was certain: 'My reputation in the future is safe in your hands. It was a wonderful series of sounds. Bless you!' How right Elgar was, as this treasury confirms: the first set to unite all of Boult's recordings for EMI of a composer he conducted and recorded throughout his long career. We can thereby hear four different versions of the Enigma Variations, recorded between 1936 and 1970, and marvel at their clear-sighted consistency as much as changing nuances of expression over the years."
