4.0 out of 5 stars Beecham conducts Delius - Vol. 2, 24 Jul 2000
By John Austin "austinjr@bigpond.net.au" (Kangaroo Ground, Australia) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This second historic CD of works by Frederick Delius conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham offers all the items that appeared in the 1936 Delius Society volume. In addition there is Beecham's 1927 recording of "The Walk To the Paradise Garden", a recording that especially delighted Delius himself. Recorded at various times during 1936 in Studio 1, Abbey Road, the other items may be heard in slightly better sound quality than that which emerged from the first CD in this Naxos series of three. One could hardly wish for better performances. "Sea Drift" is the work and the performance to treasure here. It features the fine Australian baritone John Brownlee.

5.0 out of 5 stars ABBEY ROAD, 22 Jan 2005
By DAVID BRYSON (Glossop Derbyshire England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Starting in 1934, the year of the composer's death, Beecham recorded three series of Delius performances at two-year rests. This disc gives us the 1936 selection together with The Walk to the Paradise Garden done in 1927. To my ears the sound here shows a distinct advance in quality over the first record in this set of reissues, enough of an advance for me to feel able to give this disc a fifth star.

The step-change in the recorded quality is down to Abbey Road, the studio in West Hampstead made famous by the Beatles. It had been custom-built to the latest ideas of the time, and seems to have satisfied even the exacting Beecham. Choral recording in those days was seen as a greater challenge than recording an orchestra, and even in 2005 I would say that the technicians managed to do an admirable job with the massive forces required for Sea Drift. The technical side of this reissue has been masterminded again by David Lennick, and he gives us an interesting little note of his own on a particular problem he faced, the consequence no doubt of the short recording takes that were imposed by the limitations of 78rpm technology. The fault had been spotted too late and only 'corrected' at the expense of introducing another problem. If Mr Lennick is letting us know what a good job he did in the circumstances I should say he has every right to do so.

The soloist in Sea Drift is the Australian baritone John Brownlee. His diction is absolutely exemplary, which is just as well since the words of the poem are not provided. Even the chorus are remarkably distinct in their enunciation once one's ears have got used to the ambience of the sound generally. As for the quality of the performances, the name of Beecham in relation to Delius probably makes much further comment superfluous. All the familiar grace and suppleness in the phrasing are here as ever, and the luscious ripe-to-overripe orchestral effects are starting to make something of their full effect thanks to Abbey Road. Beecham was to a great extent in a position to specify his own orchestral players, and few listeners will be liable to miss the special contributions of the oboe from Leon Goossens and the clarinet in the hands of Reginald Kell.

Like the first disc of the series, this record benefits from another fine and fascinating liner-note by Lyndon Jenkins, chairman of the Delius Society. The series of three discs is available at very modest cost, and I look forward to being able to report shortly that it can be recommended in its entirety.
