Description
Recorded in Bournemouth in 1994, this album, highly recommended by the Penguin Guide a year later, is now re-issued at 'classic Chandos' price. The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra playing under the baton of Richard Hickox, Delius's palette of colours shines through once again. Hickox was indeed a sensitive and flexible Delian and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra responded passionately to him from the start: their collaboration began with famous performances of the first ever complete cycle of Vaughan Williams's symphonies in London. Especially in 'The Walk to the Paradise Garden' - a highlight here - the collection demonstrates the glittering qualities of Delius's enchanting musical world, which evokes an atmosphere of serene pleasure in nature.
