Our Take

Sir Thomas Beecham and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra take us on a delightful and dreamy journey with their latest album "Frederick Delius: 11 Favourites." Delius, a master of British Romanticism, shines brightly in this whimsical collection of pieces.

From the ethereal opening of "On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring" to the majestic crescendos of "Brigg Fair," Beecham and the RPO capture the essence of Delius's music with precision and grace. Each track is a testament to the composer's ability to evoke the beauty of the English countryside and its folk traditions.

The orchestra's lush and expressive playing is a perfect match for Delius's evocative melodies, creating a rich tapestry of sound that envelops the listener in a world of sheer musical bliss. The interplay between the strings, woodwinds, and brass is masterfully executed, creating a sense of unity and cohesion throughout the album.

Standout tracks include the hauntingly beautiful "Summer Night on the River" and the stirring "The Walk to the Paradise Garden," both of which showcase the orchestra's dynamic range and sensitivity to Delius's nuanced compositions.

Overall, "Frederick Delius: 11 Favourites" is a triumph of interpretation and execution, showcasing Sir Thomas Beecham and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the top of their game. This album is a must-listen for fans of British classical music and anyone in need of a musical escape to a world of beauty and serenity.
