William Boughton, conductor
"The Birmingham-based English String and Symphony Orchestras under William Boughton are completely at home in this repertoire. One has only to sample the excitingly animated account of Holst's St Paul's Suite (which also has much delicacy of feeling), the ideally paced Warlock Capriol Suite, or the vibrant account of Britten's Frank Bridge Variations, to discover the calibre of this music-making."
