About This Item
(London, Hutchinson, 1959). Pictorial dustwrapper, very lightly marked, original green cloth, pp. 228, frontispiece portrait, plates. 'The names of Delius and Sir Thomas Beecham are linked in a maner unique in the history of music. It is not merely that much of the work of Delius would not have secured recognition had not Sir Thomas devoted so much of his time and talent to making it known, nor is it even that there is no other conductor who can bring out to the full its exquisite quality in performance. The key to this collaboration lies neither in temperament nor character, for the two men are essentially unlike; and if we are looking for intimate revelations, it is to Jelka, the wife of Delius, to whom we must turn. Her account of the passage of her love for Delius, to whom we must turn. Her account of the passage of her love for Delius, written down at the request of Sir Thomas, is a moving narrative on its own.' .
