The relationship between Frederick Delius and Sir Thomas Beecham is one of the most extraordinary in the history of music, going beyond mere advocacy to something more personal and enduring. Beecham became Delius’s primary champion at a time when his music was relatively underappreciated, ensuring that many of Delius’s works were not only performed but became fixtures in the English orchestral repertoire.
