Ah !!!!!.......Cynara !!.......how it has fascinated me since John Shirley Quirk shredded my ears back in the 1960,s !!! When I was 18. In my opinion, NO ONE will ever surpass his rendition, ...the flavour, the inflexion, the over-all sympathy toward this work. I have it sung in Danish too of course. The more the World around me crashes into madness, the more I reach for my Delius - collection.......
The orchestral writing is sublime, but the baritone solo is strident and the words are hard to understand. That part would better be played on a 'cello.
Beautiful!

Oh Jan! I completely agree with you about John Shirley Quirk and the salve of Delius to my world-weary nerves. DA
