Awards and reviews

Boughton elicits solid, brilliant, feeling performances ... As these performances meld something of Boult's propulsion and body with an approximation of Barbirolli's swing, they might serve as the ideal introduction. This production stands strongly recommended.

August 2012

The set as a whole can be heartily commended to newcomers to Elgar’s music, and despite the fact that many of the most important works are missing – no symphonies, no concertos – they give a pretty comprehensive view of his orchestral works outside that sphere.
