Yes,agreed, Tod was great in RVW (and Elgar for that matter). But Sir Adrian Boult is probaly more of the benchmark. After all he collaborated with RVW on the first performances of his scores for decades and premiered many of the symphonies.

Yes, agree but i don't like the sound quality of his EMI recordings as much (also available as a complete set at Presto.) I have many in single issues. The Handley set just sounds better to me.
RVW Handley set? Do you mean the set of symphonies? Odd as these were recorded by ...EMI.
Mind you I am in the UK and have the UK issues of Boult. Perhaps the USA ones are different? I know that what are great EMI recordings issued here on vinyl were not so well regarded when remastered in the US and issued on Angal.
Yes, the box set. See the link in my first post on the subj. EMI but 15 to 20 years after the latest Boult versions of the early 70s. You're right about EMI recordings which were trashed by Angel when they were issured over here. Some of the worst pressings there were coming out in that era.
