Taken as an Elgar-inspired symphony written in the shadow of those of the great man himself - and not that long afterwards - it's still a grand piece. And it wasn't written as late as Boughton 3 - which I also love with a passion.

Perhaps it's just me...

I adore the third Boughton, still having trouble getting into the second.

They have a thread or three to themselves but will insert that I love both of them, find the 2nd more - elusive in character (it did take me longer) but equally passionate - it's the 1st that I need to stay with in hopes that it will stay with me :)

Yes, I fear that I will never really love the first, sadly, since I am a direct descendent of its subject

Agreed :)

Boughton's Third is indeed a rousing, romantic and passionate piece :)
