I take this to mean that you don't much like Delius's music.  I'm
certainly no expert on it, but Kate once played a one of his pieces on
the radio -- I think it was "To Be Sung of a Summer Night on the
Water" or something like that.  In any case, it was quite haunting.
Also, Ken Russel made a movie about him, so there must be something to
his music...

She's on CBS records now (in the U.S.).
