"Sir Adrian, courteous and thoughtful English gentleman, was for some reason not always willing to thrust Brahms's arguments fully home, and there is a little too much reserve in his music-making. Yet when he conducts for Dame Janet Baker, who sings superbly in the Alto Rhapsody, he at once gets the LPO to play with an extra degree of tension." (Gramophone)
"Dignified, unfussy performances, with Boult keeping his powder dry for the big moments."
(BBC Music)
