Description

This episode we play selections from a DTR Release, "Paradise Gardens." The CD is a Frederick Delius recital by Michael Stairs at the legendary Longwood Gardens organ. Even during the 1930's as Delius was composing many of his best-known works, organist Dom Gregory Murray was arranging them for organ. We hear his arrangement of "A Song Before Sunrise."



We also feature three other tracks from this CD, including Michael Stair's own arrangement of "La Calinda." It's a fascinating look at the music of Delius -- and one that works quite well, we believe.
