Delius: Brigg Fair - Beecham 1958

Frederick Delius 1862 - 1934. Moved by his friend Percy Grainer's choral and instrumental setting of a folksong 'Brigg Fair', which he had collected in Lincolnshire, Delius wrote his own 'English Rhapsody' based on the tune in 1907. On this 1958 recording, the best exponent and champion of Delius' music Sir Thomas Beecham conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The theme is of lovers mirrored in nature after meeting at the fair. The young man rises early in the morning with a yearning for passion and to meet someone special, he goes to Brigg Fair - 'for love I was inclined'! But not all in life and love runs smoothly or harmoniously as in the folksong. In this video the innocence of childhood reveals little more than a romantic fantasy. Though the old farmer with his pipe, dressed in a smock and resting on a gate, reflects back on the joys and sorrows of life. A couple walk closely out of the scene emerging from the dark wood at the conclusion symbolizing the continuum of love and life. Enjoy this fine and sensitive performance of a Delius classic by the Master himself. Try to follow a study of human life and love against the back drop of our lovely, verdant countryside at the peak of Summer. 'It was the fift' of August The weather fine and fair. Unto Brigg Fair I did repair. For love I was Inclined' ..... etc HMV Vinyl Album recorded 1958 - 'Delius'. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Sir Thomas Beecham ASD 357 N.B.
