I have the EMI double CD of Beecham and the Royal Phil playing the Delius high points. I quite like some of them - 'Sleigh Ride', 'Brigg Fair'..., but I agree that he can sort of wander aimlessly at times.Apparently he was a bit of a dilettante, having been born into the family of a wealthy Victorian plantation owner.
