The soloists performing in the set include Menuhin, du Pré, Tortelier, Baker, Shirley-Quirk and Bostridge.• Includes over 80 minutes of newly-remastered recordings.• Includes a promotional presentation by Thomas Beecham given in October 1948 for the launch of the 78rpm set of A Village Romeo and Juliet.• Following boxes celebrating the music of Elgar, Vaughan Williams and Britten this set provides the listener a marvellous opportunity to join the ever-growing band of Delius fans throughout the world.
