[Leon Williams and Naxos 8.572764]
The
following is the text of an email to The Delius Society in the United
Kingdom:
On
September 25, 2012 AfriClassical posted: “Baritone Leon Williams on
Naxos CD of Music of Delius, With The Florida Orchestra, Released
September 25, 2012.”
We
note that the website of The Delius Society and The Delius Trust at
http://www.delius.org.uk/
features an extensive list of recordings issued during the 150th
Anniversary Year of Frederick Delius (1862-1934). Henry Adams of the
Florida Orchestra writes in a press release of September 25, 2012:
“The
Florida Orchestra (TFO)
releases a recording of music by Frederick
Delius, their first
on the Naxos label
(Catalog No. 8572764). The music includes English composer Frederick
Delius’ Sea
Drift and
Appalachia:
Variations on an Old Slave Song both
of which feature baritone Leon
Williams and The
Master Chorale of Tampa Bay conducted
by Stefan
Sanderling.”
The
New Releases page of the Delius website,
http://www.delius.org.uk/newreleases.htm
lists a great number of recordings devoted entirely or in part to
compositions of Frederick Delius. Several CDs on the list have been
issued on Naxos, the leading classical music label which also
released The Florida Orchestra's disc.
We
respectfully suggest that the Naxos CD which features baritone Leon
Williams, Naxos 8.572764 (2012), be added to the New Releases page
promptly.
Sincerely,
William
J. Zick
