Frederick Delius, Walk to the Paradise Garden, Atkinson Grimshaw

[MortishaMama]

Just watching this beautiful video with the beautiful music it was taking me through a mini journey that I will always treasure. You could not have done any better. Thank you very much for sharing and I am looking forward to revisiting your channel for other creative treats from you!

They should've slowed down the tempo just a little more.

@zoranrosendahl As earlier requested, the last painting is entitled "Old Chelsea" which depicts the tower of Chelsea Old Church from Cheyne Row, a Chelsea Pensioner and his young guardian are making their way homeward. In the video, the paintings prior to this, the barge has sunk and the river flows on, a couple has reappeared on a moonlit street,,, everyone will probably have a different interpretation as to what Old Chelsea is about...

I love this piece of music, and Atkinson Grimshaw's work is fantastic! Well done for putting this together!

Delius 'paints' his orchestration--its not just vivid orchestration ala Rimsky-Korsakov. he is searching for specific sounds then clothes these sounds in the appropriate instruments. There is a peacefulness, lyrical, pastoral quality to much of his work. We need this music in this troubled world.

Very beautifully composed with the lovely pictures and a gorgeous introduction to Delius many thanks

[mangott]

@rosae25 Thank you so much for your comment and encouragement. For me as well, these two artists are very illuminating... it is great to hear from you.

Haunting. The second 78 rpm I bought as a kid (after Rhapsody in Blue) was this, and I sat enchanted. And now again, 60 years later, remembering...

Thank you.

A Village Romeo and Juliet is an opera by Frederick Delius, the fourth of his six operas. The composer himself, with his wife Jelka, wrote the English-language libretto based on the short story Romeo und Julia auf dem Dorfe by the Swiss author Gottfried Keller. The first performance was at the Komische Oper, Berlin on 21 February 1907

@mangott Thank You so much. I too have loved Delius for most of my sixty years. Love this rendition and the artwork. Interesting that it was done by another Yorkshireman.

Love and Peace to all.

What has "Grimshaw" to do with this???

[mangott]

@steeeeevve Both nothing and everything. Thank you for the comment.

[steeeeevve]

@mangott

How everything?

[steeeeevve]

@steeeeevve

Why not say he was the artist? I've just looked him up. ??

[mangott]

@steeeeevve Welcome. I thought your first comment was about the artist himself. The video titles have the composer listed at the beginning and the artist listed at the end, unless, there is a compilation and if the names don't fit, they're listed in the description. For me, Grimshaws paintings really are extraordinary.

[Marvelouscortex]

@mangott you mean everything and nothing

[mangott]

@Marvelouscortex Thanks for watching,,,now I'm not so sure what I meant, LOLOL, I'll try to live up to that.

[Jezetha]

Total beauty, visually and musically. (That Barbirolli recording is still unbeaten.)

[opensecret51]

[mangott]

@opensecret51 Thank you for your comment and being sensitive to the artists involved.
