With the 2012 being the 150th Anniversary of Frederick Delius’ birth, Decca Classics have released an 8 CD box set with the core of his repertoire presented with great love and detail. The renowned conductor Sir Charles Mackerras is at the helm of many of the works, along with Sir Neville Marriner and distinguished ensembles like the Fitzwilliam Quartet, the Academy of St Martin in the Fields and of course, the London Symphony Orchestra. If you’re not particularly familiar with Delius as a composer, this is a fabulous place to start, with choral and orchestral works this is sure to please any music lover.
