As the discussion was Nationals and their music I used that quintessential English composer Elgar as an example,he was not a cowpat composer but his music is all about the end of a way of life,loss of an Empire, and The Great War.Its all in the Cello Concerto.
Its just my opinion that Boult understands the above and Solti does not.
Some Composers are Universal(1st division)some not(2nd division).
It is interesting that five of the seven Conductors you list lived in the UK.
