His first prominent post was conductor of the City of Birmingham Orchestra in 1924. When the British Broadcasting Corporation appointed him director of music in 1930, he established the BBC Symphony Orchestra and became its chief conductor. The orchestra set standards of excellence that were rivalled in Britain only by the London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO), founded two years later. Forced to leave the BBC in 1950 on reaching retirement age, Boult took on the chief conductorship of the LPO. The orchestra had declined from its peak of the 1930s, but under his guidance its fortunes were revived. He retired as its chief conductor in 1957, and later accepted the post of president. Although in the latter part of his career he worked with other orchestras, including the London Symphony Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and his former orchestra, the BBC Symphony, it was the LPO with which he was primarily associated, conducting it in concerts and recordings until 1978, in what was widely called his "Indian summer". Boult was known for his championing of British music. He gave the first performance of his friend Gustav Holst's The Planets, and introduced new works by, among others, Elgar, Bliss, Britten, Delius, Rootham, Tippett, Vaughan Williams and Walton. In his BBC years, he introduced works by foreign composers, including Bartók, Berg, Stravinsky, Schoenberg and Webern. A modest man who disliked the limelight, Boult felt as comfortable in the recording studio as on the concert platform, making recordings throughout his career. From the mid-1960s until his retirement after his last sessions in 1978 he recorded extensively for EMI. As well as a series of recordings that have remained in the catalogue for three or four decades, Boult's legacy includes his influence on prominent conductors of later generations, including Sir Colin Davis and Vernon Handley.

  • Adrian Cedric Boult, CH /boʊlt/ (Chester, 8 aprile 1889 – Londra, 24 marzo 1983), è stato un direttore d'orchestra inglese.Cresciuto in una prospera famiglia mercantile, ha seguito studi musicali in Inghilterra e a Lipsia, in Germania, lavorando presto come direttore d'orchestra a Londra per la Royal Opera House e per la compagnia di balletto di Sergej Pavlovič Djagilev. Il suo primo incarico importante fu come direttore della Orchestra della Città di Birmingham nel 1924. Quando la British Broadcasting Corporation lo nominò direttore musicale nel 1930, fondò la BBC Symphony Orchestra e divenne il suo direttore principale. L'orchestra stabilì gli standard di eccellenza con i quali rivaleggiava in Gran Bretagna solo la London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO), fondata due anni più tardi. Costretto a lasciare la BBC nel 1950, al raggiungimento dell'età pensionabile, Boult assunse il capo della Direzione d'Orchestra della LPO. L'orchestra era scesa dal suo picco del 1930, ma sotto la sua guida la sua fortuna tornò a rivivere. Si ritirò come suo direttore principale nel 1957, e in seguito accettò la carica di presidente. Anche se nella seconda parte della sua carriera lavorò con altre orchestre, tra cui la London Symphony Orchestra, la Philharmonia Orchestra, la Royal Philharmonic Orchestra e la sua ex Orchestra, la BBC Symphony, fu la LPO con la quale fu collegato principalmente, la direzione di concerti e registrazioni fino al 1978, in quella che è stata ampiamente chiamata la sua "Indian Summer". Boult era noto per la sua difesa della musica britannica. Diede la prima esecuzione di I pianeti, del suo amico Gustav Holst e ha introdotto nuove opere, tra gli altri di Bliss, Britten, Delius, Tippett, Vaughan Williams e Walton. Nei suoi anni alla BBC presentò opere di compositori stranieri, tra cui Bartók, Berg, Stravinsky, Schönberg e Webern. Uomo modesto che non amava le luci della ribalta, Boult si sentiva a suo agio sia in studio di registrazione sia sul podio di un concerto, facendo registrazioni per tutta la sua carriera. Dalla metà del 1960 fino al suo ritiro dopo la sua ultima sessione, nel 1978 ha registrato ampiamente per la EMI. Oltre a una serie di registrazioni che sono rimaste nel catalogo per tre o quattro decenni, l'eredità di Boult comprende la sua influenza sui direttori importanti delle generazioni successive, tra cui Colin Davis e Vernon Handley.
