I shan't say anything critical about Delius if you similarly abstain from criticism of Strauss ;D ;D
Now, now......You
may criticize Delius; that is, if you abstain from criticism of Rachmaninov ;D In all honestly, Delius is not a composer whose music I could listen to on a regular basis. But, I don't dislike his music-far from it! The wistful melancholy of his music can (if I am in the right mood) be very effective to me. I love works like the
Songs of Sunset,
Florida Suite, and
North Country Sketches, but struggle to appreciate works such as the
Two Pieces for Small Orchestra and the PC. Go figure!
