Celebrating the 150th year since the composer's birth, Donald Macleod is joined by the violinist Tasmin Little, and cellist Julian Lloyd Webber, to discuss the life and music of Frederick Delius.

With the First World War now over, Delius was keen to promote a number of concerts of his music in England. Many of his works were included in these concerts, including the two wordless vocal miniatures for unaccompanied choir, To be sung of a Summer Night on the Water. Delius was now becoming popular, not least of all with 281 performances of his music for the play Hassan.

Delius also turned his attention to another concerto, this time for Cello, which guest Julian Lloyd Webber has recorded using the same instrument which premiered the work. This concerto was one of the last works Delius was able to complete unaided. Guest Tasmin Little also discusses the final violin sonata, a work which was completed with the help of Eric Fenby, and chats about whether this music is true Delius or not? Show less
