The first comprehensive exploration of the collaborative and fruitful friendship between Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) and Adrian Boult (1889-1983) spans from 1918 onwards. Boult, a prominent conductor, assumed a pivotal role in Vaughan Williams's life, presenting the world premieres of several symphonies, performing nearly all of his major compositions, and collaborating closely with the composer on significant projects, including the first complete recording of Vaughan Williams's symphonies. Throughout his illustrious career, Boult remained the unwavering champion of Vaughan Williams's music, tirelessly promoting it to the very end.
As this book reveals, Boult's scores contain numerous annotations derived from conversations and correspondence with Vaughan Williams, offering valuable insights into the composer's desires, including orchestration adjustments, interpretative comments, dynamics, phrasing, and revisions to Vaughan Williams's notoriously unreliable metronome markings. The evidence presented in these scores is juxtaposed with the extensive correspondence between Vaughan Williams and Boult, Boult's private diaries, and other relevant documents, including contemporary press reports.
To enhance the reader's experience, the book includes three substantial supplements: a detailed description of Boult's marked scores, a comprehensive list of Boult's Vaughan Williams performances, and a discography featuring surviving recordings of unpublished broadcasts. This work will serve as an invaluable resource for scholars and students of Vaughan Williams, historical conducting enthusiasts, Vaughan Williams enthusiasts, and those with an interest in the history of recorded music.
