  • I heard it first as a schoolboy during the war with German bombs exploding all around us, but we all kept listening, as a way out of the terror we were experiencing then.

  • I can't understand why you call this piece unknown. I first heard it on BBC radio

    when I was ten, Since then I have heard it dozens of times. It comes from his

    opera Koanga, it is also heard in one of the four movements of his Florida suite.

    A beautiful piece of music, listen and enjoy!

  • @artymowycz More fool them then. They are missing out on something wonderful.

  • @Cee6th Ask someone if they've heard of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, they will probably know what you're talking about. Ask them about Delius or La Calinda and you'll probably get a blank stare with some shaking of the head.

  • Fantastic Music!!!

  • Sublime.

  • Great composer!

  • La Calinda is not unknown!

  • Delius Viola Sonata now on YT!

  • Wonderful to find this, I love this piece, first heard it in School Essembly in the Juniors in the 1960's. Our Teacher who was also the School music teacher would play the record on the School Gramaphone. Reminds me of my holidays and all the people I have met in the past half century. Beautiful piece by Delius.
