Of the works performed here by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra under the prominent Delius interpreter Sir Andrew Davis, the first three (Paris, the Piano Concerto, and Idylle de printemps) offer a fascinating insight into the early years of the development of Delius as a composer, when he was slowly and painstakingly honing his craft, and assuming the characteristic personal voice that is evident in more mature works such as Brigg Fair.
Paris, sub-titled ‘The Song of a Great City’, is strongly inspired by the composer’s many years of living and working in Paris. With large-scale orchestral forces, Delius paints opulent pictures of a city that he obviously loved. The slow opening portrays the still darkness falling over Paris; then the music changes pace and takes us through the teeming and intoxicating nightlife of the city, with impressions of exuberant dance music coming from the many cafés and music-halls. The opening material returns, culminating in the sounds of the awakening streets.
Until recently Delius’s Piano Concerto has been know exclusively in its final, one-movement form, which was first performed in London in 1907. The version recorded here, however, represents the composer’s earlier thoughts, from 1897. Performed by Howard Shelley, the work is brimming with full-bodied romanticism while showing the influences of Grieg and Liszt throughout.
The airy mood of Idylle de printemps points to later depictions of nature in Delius’s music, as in Brigg Fair, which Delius categorised as ‘An English Rhapsody’. Cecil Gray, the Scottish music critic and composer, described the opening of Brigg Fair as ‘evoking the atmosphere of an early summer morning in the English countryside’. The work is based on a folk-tune which came to light in a competition instigated by Percy Grainger in 1905 to find ‘the best unpublished old Lincolnshire folk song or plough song’. Grainger was immediately taken with the folk-tune, and having arranged it himself for solo tenor and chorus, he approached Delius to write orchestral variations on it – urging him on as the only composer worthy of the task. Delius was soon persuaded, and Brigg Fair became one of his best-loved works.

Poem of Life and Love.

This year marks the 150th Anniversary of the birth of Frederick Delius and SOMM joins his many admirers in paying tribute to a composer who had a very special place in the history of twentieth-century music. Our first volume of Delius’s orchestral music transcribed for two pianos provides us with a fresh and enjoyable slant on music which we most of us know and love.
We in England have been jealously possessive of the fact that Delius was born in this country, which would automatically label him as a “British” composer. In fact Delius had no home and was by nature rootless and a wanderer. He was born in Bradford, Yorkshire of naturalised German immigrants, and aged 22 he lived and worked for a short while in Jacksonville Florida where he fell in love with negro spirituals and the sound of negro voices singing in chorus, his first powerful source of inspiration.
At the age of 24 Delius travelled to Germany where he entered the Leipsig Conservatoire. Germany was then a major musical centre with Nikisch and Mahler conducting at the Opera House and Brahms and Tchaikovsky conducting their own works at the Gewandhaus. It was at this point when he met Edvard Grieg who recognised Delius’s talent and who, in turn, was destined to be an important influence on Delius’s musical development. After Germany followed Paris where Delius embarked on a productive full-time career before moving to Grez-sur-Loing near Fontainebleau with his wife, painter Jelka Rosen where he lived for the rest of his life until he died in 1934. He was buried in Limpsfield, England in 1935, next to the grave of his close friend and supporter, Sir Thomas Beecham.
Delius was a complete rebel who flouted convention. He held academic respectability in utter contempt and adapted the technique of composition to his own ends, relying on instinct and technical knowledge. It no doubt amused him to be described by those who had only a superficial experience of his scores as an amateur or a dilettante but his special brand of genius was recognised by his friends and kindred spirits, Percy Grainger, Philip Heseltine and Eric Fenby, among others. It was they who expertly arranged some of Delius’s orchestral music for two pianos or piano duet.
I knew nothing of these arrangements until I was approached, some months ago, by the Chairman of the Delius Society, Martin Lee-Browne and other important members of the committee of the Society, which included Dr. Lionel Carley, a renowned Delius scholar and author of important books on the composer and his work. The group had just returned from a “positively electrifying” recital at the Pump Room, Bath, of some of Delius’s orchestral music arranged for two pianos given by two young pianists, Simon Callaghan and Hiroaki Takenouchi. They all enthusiastically agreed that these had to be recorded. Would I be interested in recording them for SOMM... and this marked the beginning of an exciting collaboration between the label and the duo team of Simon and Hiro, who have given us these remarkable premiere recordings. Their deeply felt performances do not only transcend the limitations of the instruments. They also allow many more of the inner strands of the orchestral textures to be heard with greater clarity. This first volume will be followed by the release of a second volume later this summer.
Since meeting in 2003 at the Royal College of Music at the recommendation of the late Yonty Solomon, Simon Callaghan and Hiroaki Takenouchi have had a thriving duo partnership during which they have given concerts not only throughout the UK but also in Europe and Japan. Their piano duo recitals have recently included all the works of Delius in arrangements for both piano duet and two pianos, performed at the beautiful Pump Room, Bath.
In addition to their duo partnership the two pianists are in constant demand internationally as soloists and chamber musicians and they have given concerts throughout the UK, Europe, Canada, the US and Japan.
ディーリアスのオケ曲の四手ピアノ用編曲なんて，典ちゃんが参加したBISの先走りぐらいだろと思ってたら，なんと，こんなのが！ (笑) ただ，向こうはPeter Warlock絡みで，こちらは"Brigg Fair"以外は別の人たちの編曲．
Long an admirer of Nietzsche’s poetry, Frederick Delius composed A Mass of Life while at the height of his powers, blending passages from Also Sprach Zarathustra into orchestral textures of great expressive depth and striking beauty. Written in his final years, the Prelude and Idyll sourced music from a long discarded opera, transforming a story of lust and vengeance into one which emphasizes the transience of life and love. David Hill’s previous BSO recordings include a “perfectly judged” Dies natalis by Gerald Finzi (The Guardian on 8.570417), while his Vaughan Williams Sancta Civitas (8.572424) was described as “thrilling…a great case for a neglected work”.

ニーチェの「ツァラトゥストラ」からインスパイアされた音楽と言えば、R.シュトラウスやマーラーを思い出しますが、このディーリアスの「人生のミサ」も同じテキストを用いて、全く違ったテイストの音楽を書き上げました。ディーリアスと言えば、イギリスを代表する作曲家と思われていますが、彼の両親は実はドイツ人であり、彼自身もドイツ語を操り、ドイツ文学をこよなく愛していたのです。このタイトルにある「人生」とは超人ツァラトゥストラの辿った人生の遍歴であり、ディーリアスは、そこに普遍性を見出していたようです。この作品、当初はウォレスによる英訳歌詞で歌われることが多かったのですが、最近は原語歌唱によるものが増え、この録音もドイツ語で歌われています。(2012/07/18 発売)
