Yorkshire Television (PART 1)
From more than three decades ago- dubbed from VHS tape This beautifuly shot and sensitive portrayal of Eric Fenby's quest to Frederick Delius is here divided into two parts. AT THE BREAK - 'END of PART ONE' stop and select 'Song of Farewell (part 2)' to ensure continuity - select part two.
Edited video with original break!

IN THIS PART - Eric returns to his native Scarborough and recalls how he decided to offer his services as amanuensis to the blind and paralysed composer Frederick Delius. We visit the The Royal Acadamy of Music - The Yehudi Menuhin School of Music and also visit Eric and his wife Rowena's London Home.
Yehudi Menuhin together with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra play a part in telling this remarkable story.
The 'reporter' in the film is Geoff Druett.

Ken Russell's, Song of Summer, is 'not' available in the United States. It is quite costly to obtain. Russell considered this film his finest work.
