United StatesA great Kenneth Wilkinson recording
The Perfect Fool and Egdon Heath fall well within the category of pure pleasure. And they are beautifully well performed here by Sir Adrian Boult and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. This recording is a great introduction to the excellence of Kingsway Hall's acoustics and why it is such a legendary recording venue for both Decca and EMI. An excellent Kenneth Wilkinson stereo recording.
Very very good
It’s a pleasure to discover less known works of a composer. I enjoyed very much these three pieces by Holst, which have nothing to envy to ‘The Planets’. I was especially pleased by ‘The Perfect Fool’. I bought the PCM 24/192 FLAC version and found the playing really exciting.
