Today:

Delius:
Sea Drift
Piano concerto (1897)
Poem of Life and Love (1918/’19)
The latest BBCMM CD. AFAIK the Poem is a premiere-recording; a pity that the brass in the piano concerto is not at its best (listen e.g. between 3m10 and 4m20 for what I mean, especially the horns)

I’m off abroad again, I’ll be back Sunday May 20th.
