From Library Journal
Carley, adviser and archivist to the Delius Trust and author of four books on the English composer (e.g., Delius: A Life in Pictures , Oxford Univ. Pr., 1977), here collects, translates, edits, and extensively annotates all the known correspondence between Delius and noted Norwegian composer Grieg. The letters chronicle Delius's early career especially well and highlight the friendship between the two musicians, also revealing the pair's artistic views and sometimes conflicting philosophies of life. Though this book is readable and well organized, and both the letters and Carley's annotations are highly interesting and informative, the scope of the correspondence limits the general usefulness of the book. For serious music collections.
