The first detailed study of the working relationship and productive
friendship between Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) and Adrian
Boult (1889-1983). From 1918 onwards, Boult became one of Vaughan
Williams's most important interpreters, giving the world premieres
of the Pastoral, Fourth and Sixth Symphonies, performing almost all
his major works (not only at home but with some of the world's
greatest orchestras), and working in close collaboration with the
composer on major projects including the first complete recording
of Vaughan Williams's symphonies. Boult continued to be the most
devoted advocate of Vaughan Williams's music to the end of his long
career. As this book shows, Boult's scores include numerous
annotations derived from conversations and correspondence with
Vaughan Williams and these provide important evidence of the
composer's wishes including adjustments to orchestration, comments
on interpretation, dynamics, phrasing and revisions to Vaughan
Williams's notoriously unreliable metronome marks. The evidence of
these scores is considered alongside the extensive correspondence
between Vaughan Williams and Boult, Boult's private diaries and
other relevant documents including contemporary press reports. 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 including surviving
recordings of unpublished broadcasts. It will be indispensable
reading for scholars and students of Vaughan Williams and
historical conducting, Vaughan Williams enthusiasts and those
interested in the history of recorded music.
