This is a mid-price reissue of recordings from the Chandos back catalog. All the performances are outstanding. The sound is fully up to the high standards set by this label, and the notes are duplicates from the original issues. ARG has reviewed these before to much acclaim and it only remains to urge acquisition if you don’t already have them in your collection

American Record Guide

The sultry, sensuous beauty and vibrant colour is wonderfully evoked… a strong contender for my CD of the year

BBC Music Magazine

…the Chandos recording allows Delius’s palette of colours to shine through

Quotes at original release:
Well-filled 2-CD set, an embarrassment of riches. It is well-played, splendidly recorded, delicately shaded, and rich in expression
