About the conductor Adrian Boult

Sir Adrian Boult (1889-1983) studied at the Leipzig Conservatoire under Nikisch and Reger from 1912-13, and then began to conduct the British Symphony Orchestra in 1920. His first major appointment was at the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (1924-30) followed by his appointment as Director of the BBC Symphony Orchestra (1930-1950). He made the BBC Symphony Orchestra into an international ensemble of such a high standard that Toscanini made a number of recordings with the orchestra for HMV. During the pre-war years, Boult toured frequently in Germany, Czechoslavakia and the US. He also was at the Salzburg Festival in 1935. After retiring from the BBCSO in 1950, he became principal conductor of the London Philharmonic but resigned in 1956, keeping closely associated with them. He retired in 1979.
