William Boughton, conductor Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
"William Boughton and the English String Orchestra play much of their programme with real feeling: their Death of Mélisande is quite touching and throughout their programme there is an evident sympathy with the Sibelian idiom ... his (Boughton's) performances are so sympathetic and direct. The recording, made in the Great Hall of Birmingham University, is very clean and present. Likeable, unpretentious performances."
Robert Layton, Gramophone
