“Contains Delius’ most essential statements. Summer Night on the River, On Hearing the First Cuckoo, Brigg Fair and the Irmelin Prelude are simply magical in their effect, and Beecham&#8217;s interpretations arise out of the depths of the music itself … passages such as the introduction to Brigg Fair, seem to be outside time, one yet again wonders at the poetic rightness of every nuance, the delicately exact textural balance. His identification with the composer is so complete that one is not sure whom to credit for some features … This (collection) must surely be recognised as a gem. Sleigh Ride and the Marche Caprice are entertaining enough , but all the rest are wonderful Delius &#8211; and conducted by someone who has remained the one and only Delius interpreter. Each performance is superb.” (Gramophone)<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: blue;">&#8220;Victoria de los Angeles gets under the skin of the complex title role as few mezzos have&#8211;so much so that it is easy to take for granted her alluring timbre and meticulous musicianship.&#8221;<br />
– Jed Distler<br />
&#8220;It certainly stands the test of time, sparkling, swaggering and seducing in a way that is uniquely Beecham&#8217;s.&#8221;<br />
– Edward Greenfield, Gramophone</span></p>
