- Description: The continuing collaboration of SOMM Recordings and Lani Spahr has produced another exciting of long forgotten and neglected recordings, which highlight Sir Adrian Boult's life-long championing of the music of Edward Elgar. The tag remains grateful, as ever, to Spahr for resurrecting these lost treasures and for his sterling work on sound restoration.On 17 February, 1918, in wartime London, a twenty-eight year old Adrian Boult visited the home of Sir Edward Elgar to discuss details for a performance of In the South that Boult was to conduct for the first time at Queen's Hall the following evening. In 1944, in the midst of another war, Boult would again conduct the concert overture in a broadcast performance with the BBC Orchestra. SOMM Recordings is proud to include this performance on it's , Boult's Elgar - The Forgotten Recordings.Elgar had conducted the premiere performance of his Second Symphony at the Queen's Hall on 24 May 1911, and it was, by his own admission and according to Boult's description, Inchreally rather a flop.Inch Overshadowed by the success of the First Symphony, the Second had been received with polite restraint. After Boult conducted the London Symphony Orchestra in his first performance of the symphony on 16 March, 1920, Elgar wrote to him, InchI send a word of thanks for your splendid conducting of the Sym - I am most grateful to you for your affectionate care of it & feel that my reputation in the future is safe in your hands.Inch And so it proved to be. Boult went on to perform the symphony more than seventy times, and it was largely thanks to his advocacy that audiences started to warm to the work.This present recording of the Second Symphony from SOMM, published on CD for the first time, was made by the Scottish National Orchestra in September 1963, a few months before Sir Adrian turned 75.
