Subtle music, beautifully recorded:
Delius music here tends to be very lyrical and subtle, with gorgeous harmonies. Symphony Nova Scotia seems to do them about as well as anyone, and the rcording is very smooth with a nice sense of space and ambience. The violin concerto is, as Tanya Tintner says in the liner notes, a sort of meditative "soliloquy" for violin and orchestra which should sound like "a wonderful improvisation." It is quite taxing as the violinist has to keep playing through most of the piece but it is not a showpiece for virtuosity, but rather for musicality. Philippe Djokic played this music very sensitively and it is hard to conceive it being done better. To coin a phrase: highly recommended.
