 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
"This magnificent performance of The Planets, recorded with an opulent realism, brings to a final culmination Boult's supreme understanding of this work. The account of the 'Enigma' Variations is also a classic: a performance by a great conductor who has lived a lifetime with his music." -- GRAMOPHONE
