Master of the baton and one of Britain's leading conductors, Sir Adrian Boult was renowned for his interpretations of English works, in particular music by Ralph Vaughan Williams, who was said to be "totally in favour of Sir Adrian's approach to his music" (John Culshaw). Job: A Masque for Dancing was dedicated to Sir Adrian, a fitting conductor for this magnificent centenary celebration.
