It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Delius Opera "Koanga"

This arrived in the latest batch of purchases. An EMI classics 2 CD set with Groves conducting.

It is in the same genre as his orchestral compositions - beautiful music with some magic moments but with some drama this time. Lyrical is probably the best way of describing most of his music. Yes maybe most of it is dull if you are not in an appreciative mood - generally it is music for relaxation, not excitement. That said, IMO there should be a place for at least one or two discs of his works in a classical collection.

But I still find it difficult to reconcile the man with his music. So better not to let it be a distraction.
