Notes and Editorial Reviews
Frederick Delius’s beautiful songs show his extraordinary gift for melody. John Ireland admired Delius enormously and his songs are inspired by a wide variety of literature, including his hugely popular setting of John Masefield’s Sea Fever. Renowned cellist Julian Lloyd Webber celebrates both composers’ remarkable melodic gifts in these sensitive arrangements, and pianist John Lenehan has received great acclaim for his Naxos recordings of Ireland’s complete piano music.

"Evening Songs" (Delius & Ireland) Julian Lloyd October 21, 2012
By Anna K. B. (Crockett, CA) See All My Reviews
"While the songs of Delius & Ireland are beautiful, I find it somewhat tiresome listening to this collection. As lovely as the music is, many of the songs sound 'alike', even if in subtle ways."
