Renowned cellist Julian Lloyd Webber celebrates both composers in their anniversary year, in these sensitive arrangements, joined by his cellist wife Jiaxin Cheng and pianist John Lenehan.
This recording revives a tradition which was common at the beginning of the last century; arranging the best vocal music for instruments, of which the singing voice of the Cello is one of the best suited.

EMI's long association with the music of Frederick Delius is represented here in recordings made between 1929 and 1999 by his most noted interpreters, including Beecham, from ever-popular miniatures such as 'On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring' to the elusive flow and sensuous textures of his operas and choral works.
