Frederick Delius The Complete Part-Songs. Elysian Singers, Matthew Greenall. Shows Delius's complete mastery of the craft – one only has to listen to On Craig Ddu (1907) for instance, to hear how smoothly and movingly each vocal line moves individually and in ensemble.The performances of the Elysian Singers are radiant.
