If ever there were validation of Delius's having been called "the last great disciple of romantic beauty in music," this is it. While I am delighted that we've escaped the inhuman tyranny of unfettered atonalism and rigid serialism of the mid-twentieth century and moved into a neo-romanticism of sorts, so much of the end-of-the-era sentiment from either side of ca. 1900 is but a sweet memory. Thank goodness for the technology that makes it accessible to us now.

@Marvelouscortex Yes the Song of Summer is a fantastic film.

You must also credit the genius of a flim maker (well that is what he was - now gone, 2011) Ken Russell for reinfusing - reanimating, resurrecting (with the genius of film and technology) the last six years of Delius and his wife's life.
