5.0 out of 5 starsLloyd-Jones is a Worthy Successor to Beecham as a Delian
By J Scott Morrison HALL OF FAMETOP 100 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on April 13, 2004
Format: Audio CD
In 1997 David Lloyd-Jones conducted a different program of Delius orchestral (and vocal) music that included the early 'Florida Suite' and the final scene of his American opera 'Koanga.' It was with a different orchestra, the English Northern Philharmonia, and it was very good, very natural-sounding. I wondered at the time - perhaps 'hoped' is a better word - if this might be the beginning of a Delius series on the Naxos label. Well, here it is seven years later and another program of Delius orchestral music with Lloyd-Jones at the helm, this time of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Indeed, the ten works on this disc are recorded in chronological order, beginning with the 'Marche Caprice' (which I'd never heard) from 1889 and leading on to his very last piece, 'Fantastic Dance,' premièred only four months before his death in 1934. (I'd also never heard this piece. Shame on me!)
In between these two not-so-well-known pieces are some of his loveliest creations. There are the 'Three Small Tone Poems,' each named for a season: 'Summer Evening,' 'Winter Night,' 'Spring Morning.' There was originally a fourth piece called 'Autumn,' but it seems to be lost. These works, from the same time period as the early 'Marche Caprice,' confirm that Delius from early on was able to limn the characteristics of nature as well as any English composer ever has.
'American Rhapsody' is a shorter version of the later 'Appalachia' and does not contain a choral section. But it does contain worksongs from the African American workers whom Delius heard singing when he was in Florida running a family-owned orange plantation. It also includes extensive treatments of 'Dixie' and 'Yankee Doodle.' The piece was never performed as written until the 1980s.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsSuperb performances, and a splendid release
By G.D. VINE VOICE on July 17, 2012
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
This is a splendid disc of miniatures, mixing the well known with the relatively unfamiliar. To start with the former, The Walk to the Paradise Garden receives a beautiful performance; the music flows naturally without compromising the aching, rapturous quality of the music. The strings are full-bodied and the winds, especially the woodwinds, superb. A Song before Sunrise is similarly superbly done, and the Two Pieces for Small Orchestra are as atmospheric and evocative as one could hope for. The Fantastic Dance was Delius's last orchestral work (completed with the help of Eric Fenby), and it is another affective miniature if perhaps not among the composer's most immediately memorable utterances; I would say the same for the March Caprice - though both receive simply magnificent performances.

Of the Three Small Tone Poems the first, Summer Evening, is familiar; a hazily, dreamy, wistful and deeply compelling miniature. The second is given its original title, Winter Night, though it is perhaps better known as Sleigh Ride; a glittering, shimmering piece of tone painting that has, despite its relatively short duration, always struck me as being a minute too long. The third piece, Spring Morning, is virtually unknown, however, having remained unpublished until the 1980s. Delians will know what to expect, and I can assure them that this is first-rate Delius - a delectable, deeply atmospheric work, and no one quite manage to express these impressions of nature, seasons and sunlight as evocatively as Delius.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsDelectable Delius
By James Vaughan on October 19, 2014
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
GORGEOUS. David Lloyd-Jones is a superlative exponent of Delius' orchestral works. Everything on this recording is given a first-rate rendering--some of Delius' best known pieces such as "On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring" as well as some rarities not found on (m)any other compilations. The recorded sound is FANTASTIC. I own a very expensive high-end system, and believe me, this is one of the best-sounding CDs in my collection. It easily vies in sound quality with the most expensive imported labels, including the "Hybrids" and the "Super Audio" CDs, yet is only half the listed price of those. "The Walk to the Paradise Garden" is given the most rhapsodic performance I have ever heard. This CD makes both an excellent introduction to Delius for those who are just discovering his works, and will also please the most fastidious of longtime Delius connoisseurs. Don't pass this up!

5.0 out of 5 starsFor Delius fans
By ranger one on August 30, 2015
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
I am a Delius fan since I started looking into English classical music. Along with Ralph Vaughn Williams, this music is very peacefuland melodic. This particular cd I purchased for the 3 small tone poems that is included therein. It was a good purchase.

Another must have recording for Delius fans to add to their music collection! Ten tracks of music beautifully undertaken by the World Class Scottish National Orchestra under the baton of David Lloyd-Jones.
