Delius Sonata
NN Monday of this week from 2YA Zillah Castle (violin) and Dorothy Davies (piano) performed the Second Sonata of Delius. While in England, these two artists worked together. The work they performed this week was published in 1924, ten years~ before Delius died in France at the age of 72. Although his works were greatly admired in Europe, English audiences were slow to appreciate their unfamiliar idiom. The definite acceptance of his works by British music lovers came later, largely through the advocacy and interpretations of Sir Thomas Beecham, who with other admirers, performed his works at every opportunity, and in 1929 organised a great Delius Festival in London at which every Delius work of note was performed. The composer, despite his affliction of paralysis and blindness, was present.
