'The 1971 Prom [performance] was given a few months after the EMI recording and from an interpretive point of view it is notable for an outstanding account of the finale, reaching a moment of catharsis at Fig, P that is almost Mahlerian in its intensity'
From 'Ralph Vaughan Williams and Sir Adrian Boult' by Nigel Simeone (Boydell and Brewer, 2022)
