Description

As a Bradford-born composer of choral and orchestral works, Delius' success was established in Germany after studying at the Leipzig Conservatory (1886–1888) before his merits were recognised in Britain, largely due to Sir Thomas Beecham. Works such as the opera A Village Romeo and Juliet (1907) and A Mass of Life (1909) have increased in stature over the years and ironically pieces such as Brigg Fair are now seen as quintessentially English.
