About
At the heart of this set are the recordings made by Eric Fenby and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra – interpretations of those works that Fenby took down or edited whilst working with the composer in the capacity of amanuensis.
Further recordings from the Delius oeuvre are conducted by two luminaries of English music, Norman Del Mar and Vernon Handley with contributions from Anthony Rolfe Johnson, Sarah Walker, Felicity Lott, Thomas Allen, Julian Lloyd Weber and Ralph Holmes amongst others.
Extensive liner notes are provided by Robert Matthew Walker as well as a ‘Foreword’ by Delius and Fenby authority, Stephen Lloyd. Full texts are included.
