Philarmonia news

Royal Festival Hall, London

It tells a brutal truth about Frederick Delius's lack of box-office clout – and perhaps even about his music, too – that this concert, marking the exact 150th anniversary of the composer's birth, consisted of only two of Delius's own works, bracketed by a pair of the most bankable pieces ever written by Vaughan Williams and Elgar, respectively. So, no rare birthday opportunity to hear a large work such as Paris, Sea Drift or the Mass of Life to mark the big Delius occasion. Not even a collection of Delius's shorter and more established pieces. Instead, the anniversary was celebrated by performances of The Lark Ascending and the Enigma Variations. However well intended, it is hard not to see this as an insult.

Doubly unfortunate, too: first, because the programme did less than justice to Delius's much more delicate art, "a little intangible sometimes but always very beautiful", as Elgar himself put it. And second, because the two performances of his music under Sir Andrew Davis were so fine. Davis has an unequalled sensitivity among modern conductors to the Delius sound world, and also knows how to give these works a momentum they need. Add to that the intensely committed and occasionally rather freewheeling playing of Julian Lloyd Webber, a lifelong Delius advocate, and the result was a truly persuasive case for the composer's Cello Concerto. Brigg Fair, the great achievement of Delius's long interest in English folk music, was even more hauntingly realised by the Philharmonia.

The Lark Ascending – featuring the orchestra's leader, Zsolt-Tihamér Visontay, as soloist – had to battle with a battery of January audience coughing, but Davis ensured the woodwind dialogues were well pointed. He was also never going to conduct a less than compelling performance of the Enigma Variations, which closed the concert with an impact Delius could never match – but never exactly sought, either.
