"This album very usefully contains all the Holst recordings made for Lyrita by Sir Adrian. Boult was a close friend of Holst, and his performances have unmistakable authority. Each item is brought to life in a clear-sighted, objective yet expressive fashion. There are no interpretative frills, but there is much insight and a quiet, confident mastery." Gramophone "Boult's knowledge of this repertoire - after all he directed the premiè of The Planets - allied to his technical mastery conspires to produce quite superb performances."
