QUARTET
Some critics have held that chamber music was not Delius's true medium of expression. It is true that he moved uncomfortably within the limits of the classical forms that have become more or less de rigueur in chamber music, but he wrote few things more characteristic than this Second Quartet, composed in 1916. The wistful slow movement, ' Late Swallows ', in particular is saturated with Delius's absolutely individual poetry.
