Yes, I wonder if the mainstream "English" style of conducting, which works so well with Vaughan Williams etc., is ideally suited to Bax. On the other hand, a Vaughan Williams symphony conducted by Furtwängler would doubtless sound highly unidiomatic, whereas when a Bax symphony conducted by Furtwängler… ah, that would be a different story! In other words, I wonder if Bax would benefit from a more personal, fluid, flexible, overtly impassioned, even idiosyncratic approach than he has usually received. And I fully agree that Beecham would have seemed well qualified for that task.
