In addition to the Conceros, his 3 Symphonies and Enigma Variations are his other orchestral masterpieces. His many other works for orchestra, including the Pomp and Circumstance Marches, Falstaff and Cockaigne Overture have been recorded numerous times.

  • The Academy of St Martin in the Fields Australian Tour
    MEDIA RELEASE Monday October 24 MELBOURNE RECITAL CENTRE, SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE and QUEENSLAND PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE PRESENT The Academy of St Martin in the Fields Australian tour “brooding power, poetic sparkle, dramatic attack” The Times, UK Led by virtuoso violinist Joshua Bell, Academy of St Martin in the Fields, will tour Australia in April 2017, their first national visit in 29 years, performing at Melbourne Recital Centre, the Sydney Opera House and Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC), Brisbane. Established in 1958 by the late Sir Neville Marriner, the orchestra takes its name from the church of St Martin-in-the-Fields, where the Academy gave its first performance. In the decades since, the Academy has become one of the world’s most revered and recorded chamber orchestras – familiar to music-lovers everywhere for their classic recordings of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and the soundtrack of Miloš Forman’s Amadeus. Joshua Bell, one of the most celebrated violinists of his era, became the Academy’s Music Director in 2011, leading the orchestra from the first violin and performing as a soloist. A native of Bloomington Indiana, Bell made his orchestral debut aged 14 with Riccardo Muti and the Philadelphia Orchestra. It was an incognito performance in a Washington DC subway station in 2007, however, that transformed his reputation from musician’s musician to household name. Bell will lead the Academy players in two dynamic and spellbinding concerts in each city with two separate programs, catering to both aficionados and those newly awakened to the beauty of classical music. Program One in Sydney and Melbourne features Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, where audiences will be immersed in Bell’s iconic performance of this pinnacle of the Romantic repertoire.

    FREDERICK DELIUS 150TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION ICPN 5099908417527 (18CD) “The last great apostle in our time of romance, emotion, and beauty in music" Sir Thomas Beecham “A record to treasure. Quintessential Delius in quintessential performances. The greatest recordings made in stereo by the greatest British conductor at the peak of his career." Gramophone on Delius: Brigg Fair and other orchestral works, Sir Thomas Beecham In celebration of Frederick Delius’s upcoming 150th birthday in January 2012, EMI Classics releases an 18-CD set performed by some of the greatest performers of the composer’s works, such as Thomas Beecham, John Barbirolli, Vernon Handley, Eric Fenby, Malcolm Sargent, among others. EMI’s long association with the music of Delius is represented here in recordings made between 1929 and 2003 by his most noted interpreters, 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. This definitive collection, produced with the endorsement of the Delius Society, will be supported with a comprehensive online destination, www.frederickdelius.com offering exclusive interviews, never-before-seen material and an interactive timeline to help listeners journey through the life and music of Delius. Following boxes celebrating the music of Elgar, Vaughan Williams and Britten, this set provides music lovers with an opportunity to join the ever-growing band of Delius fans throughout the world. In addition to Delius’s orchestral music, the collection features three of his operas and examples of his chamber and solo works, as well as songs. Among many highlights is a 25-minute promotional presentation given in October 1948 by Thomas Beecham for the launch of his recording of A Village Romeo and Juliet.
