There is no piece by Delius that is not beautifully crafted, atmospheric and tuneful, but this and the Florida Suite reach the absolute heights.

Simply beautiful

Have you got Paris by Delius

@kevindsunshinestate - thanks for your comment. Delius must have been an absolute pain to live with but the musical legacy is huge. Pity he was overlooked at this year's Proms (2011 season). Went to the Proms performance of "Song of the High Hills" two years ago. The work was obviously unfamiliar to a large portion of the audience because, at the end, there was a general murmer of appreciation / surprise. Proms organisers please take note!

@kevindsunshinestate Apologies--I meant book and not room!

@londonscot1 Hear, hear. Mr. Fenby's room is remarkable--a true celebration of life, even in our sunset years. It changed the way I saw old age. There is no composer quite like Delius. His music is as exhilarating as the rush of a waterfall.

@steeeeevve There is a very good movie about Eric Fenby and Delius .... in it Delius who is totally disable, is composing by humming to Fenby - his use of repetitive phrasings throughout all his works is very evident ... its his unique style.

I should point out that there is another piece in the orchestral literature by the same title, "Summer Evening," by Kodaly. I have heard it a few times.
I humbly suggest that this Delius piece is vastly superior as far as depicting what is indicated by the title. One can feel it in the music. The Kodaly piece gets performed in concert occasionally, this one never, yet, at least I feel, that this is far more deserving of attention.

@beaulieuby I absolutely agree with your sentiments - it most definitely SHOULD be better known!
And as a matter of fact, I HAVE heard it on the radio once or twice. It was in a Beecham album of Delius miniatures.

Thank you very much, inmusiciki, for posting his clip. Delius's music is like no other. Absolutely unmistakeable and once heard, never forgotten.
If you haven't already done so, I strongly recommend Eric Fenby's biography "Delius As I Knew Him" (1936). It's out-of-print now but I picked up a second-hand copy on Amazon.
