Delius: Composer, Lover, Enigma
Feature-length documentary by John Bridcut offering an insight into the life and career of Frederick Delius, revealing the contradictory nature of his colourful life. Although the composer is renowned for his depiction of the natural world in pieces including On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring, the programme explores how his music is also steeped in sensuality and eroticism. With performances by the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Bo Holten, and the chamber choir Schola Cantorum of Oxford
Delius: Composer, Lover, Enigma airs on BBC Four HD at 11:00 PM, Sunday 17 August. (Subtitles.)
