View Sir Adrian

sir adrian boult
Sir Adrian's conducting technique (so alien to modern day conductors) is clearly evident in this performance of the opening of Beethoven Violin Concerto from a 1968 broadcast (published on on an EMI/BBC DVD). The long stick enables Boult to flick his wrist and the tip of the stick draws a great arc. He also used piercing eyes to communicate with the orchestra and choirs. For soloists he was a great accompanist. Boult kept a card index of soloists noting details such as tempo and dynamics so that he would be prepared at the next engagement with an artist.
