Very nice -- I had never heard of the guy. I just ordered a set of DVDs by Ken Russell and one of the movies he did for the BBC was about Delius. Another was about Elgar which I would like to see as well.

Have never heard of him, nor of his/this work. I just finished it on my headphones while working on my taxes. Very relaxing and helpful. Thank you!!

Think I'm going to run it again.
