Hockney and Delius in Norway
A terrific read, thank you, every day’s a school day!
I have nothing erudite to offer I’m afraid but…
Victoria Wood’s ‘Dinner Ladies’ Series 1 - Episode 6 ‘Night Shift’ produced two of the funniest lines ever written in British comedy.
Dolly (I think) is perusing the TV listings…
“Half past four, documentary. Is it true about the syphilitic Delius myth?”
“Delia Smith’s never got syphilis.”
Ha! That’s a wonderful Delius reference, thanks Matthew!
Rest in Peace Victoria Wood.
A great read, Hannah! I really liked how you described the friendship of these kindred spirits (Grieg and Delius) and was delighted to see that photo of Edvard and Nina Grieg playing cards with the other composers.
Thanks, Vincent! Glad you enjoyed it.
I enjoyed researching the piece, not least reading Andrew Boyle’s book on Delius and Grieg — recommend! https://boydellandbrewer.com/book/delius-and-norway-9781783271993/
