Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Frederick Delius with this captivating collection of orchestral works, meticulously remastered in 2022. The album kicks off with the evocative "Florida Suite," a four-movement journey through the landscapes and moods of the Sunshine State, conducted with finesse by Sir Thomas Beecham.

Beyond the Florida Suite, the album offers a rich tapestry of Delius's orchestral works, each piece a testament to his unique compositional voice. "Summer Evening" and "Summer Night on the River" capture the languid beauty of warm nights, while "Sleigh Ride (Winternacht)" brings a touch of wintry whimsy. The lively "Marche Caprice" and the intricate "Dance Rhapsody No. 2" showcase Delius's mastery of rhythm and melody, while the pastoral "On hearing the first Cuckoo in Spring" and the evocative "Brigg Fair: An English Rhapsody" offer glimpses into the English countryside.
