Delius's orchestral works should be played as often as Ravel's. He is at least as inventive, harmonically and texturally, as his French contemporary, and regularly displays more raw passion than Maurice ever allowed himself to do!
There is so much of Delius that I love, but this stands out among the rest. I think it is his greatest masterpiece. What strikes me most about the imagery here, more than the images themselves, is the fact that so few people ever bother to tread there. Perhaps in a way, the music of Delius itself is like that.

My favourite piece of all music. It means everything to me and perfectly encapsulates man in nature like no other music I know.
