Der Meister tönender Natur - Frederick Delius zum 150. Geburtstag
Tönende Landschaftsbilder in glühenden Farben, Klang gewordene Schönheit prächtiger Gärten und exotische Klänge fremder Kulturen: Das sind die faszinierenden Facetten der Musik von Frederick Delius - dem großen englischen Spätromantiker, dessen 150. Geburtstag am 29. Januar 2012 gefeiert wird. EMI Classics erinnert mit einer 18 CDs umfassenden Collector’s Edition an das vielseitige Schaffen dieses Meisters, der immer noch im Schatten seiner Zeitgenossen Elgar, Mahler, Strauss und Sibelius steht.

Der Sohn einer deutsch-englischen Kaufmannsfamilie kam nach Florida, um dort als Farmer Geld zu verdienen, ließ sich von der Musik der amerikanischen Südstaatler faszinieren, komponierte eine Florida-Suite, kehrte nach Europa zurück und nahm seine musikalische Laufbahn in Angriff. Spätromantische Epik und impressionistische Klangwelten prägen sein Schaffen, das er in ekstatischer Naturverehrung zu Papier brachte. Die 18-CD-Box zu seinem 150. Geburtstag enthält die Hauptwerke wie die vielen landschaftlich inspirierten Orchesterwerke sowie Kammermusik, Konzerte, Lieder, Chorwerke, sein von Nietzsche inspiriertes Oratorium "A Mass of Life" sowie die Opern "Koanga", "A Village Romeo and Juliet" und "Fennimore and Gerda".

Rezensionen

WDR 3: "Umfangreich, vielfältig, ungemein farbig und abwechslungsreich. "Nicht zuletzt die exzellenten Aufnahme- und Bearbeitungs-Leistungen machen den Streifzug durch die rund 75 Werke von Frederick Delius zu einem äußerst lohnenden Vergnügen"
