Brigg Fair - Over The Hills And Far Away - Florida Suite - Songs Of Sunset - On Hearing The First Cuckoo In Spring
Delius was a late-Romantic English composer known for impressionistic orchestration and lyrical grace. Though British, he spent much of his life in France and Florida, experiences that shaped his distinctive sound. This comprehensive 2011 EMI Classics set features masterworks including Brigg Fair, Over The Hills and Far Away, and the Songs of Sunset, conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Delius's music evokes mood and atmosphere with unusual orchestral coloration—less dramatic than contemporaries, more intimate and poetic. If you appreciate Ravel or Debussy but want something more English in spirit, Delius offers lush orchestration with genuine warmth. Beecham was Delius's greatest champion.
