Discovering Delius. A portrait of Frederick Delius

Description

Born in England, of German parents, Frederick Delius (1862-1934) travelled throughout his life to America, Scandinavia, Germany, France and Italy. Although ranked as one of the leading English composers, he was inspired by the foreign landscapes he visited. This portrait focuses on his early and middle years. Several champions of Delius' music – conductor Charles Mackerras, cellist Julian Lloyd Webber, violinist Tasmin Little, baritone Thomas Hampson and the Brindisi Quartet – are seen rehearsing, performing and discussing his work.
