Ida Haendel was born in Chelm, Poland on 15th December, although whether this was in 1923, 1924 or 1928 depends on which reference book you consult! There is also some disagreement about the work with which she made her Proms debut (was it the Beethoven or the Brahms Violin Concerto?) However, there is no doubt that the work she played in 1994 was Britten’s Violin Concerto, with the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Andrew Davis.

Though Frederick Delius was born in Bradford, Yorkshire in 1862, his musical style can hardly be generalized as ‘English.’ Eclectic or worldly would probably be a better choice. His parents were German immigrants who were well-to-do wool merchants. He spent some time in the U.S: in Florida, he grew oranges, but mostly concentrated on music, even teaching in Jacksonville, and later Virginia, as well as a short stint in New York. He went to the Leipzig Conservatory for further work in 1887, eventually settled in France, and married artist Jelka Rosen. Both he and his wife spoke English, German, French, and some Scandinavian languages. His songs are in Norwegian, Danish, as well as the three mentioned previously. His most famous opera was “A Village Romeo and Juliet”, composed 1900-01; his most famous orchestral piece the “Florida Suite” (1886-7), and composed several songs for voice and orchestra as well as voice and piano (the ‘Norwegian Songs’ being composed 1889-90). He also composed concertos, chamber music, and solo piano music. Delius died in 1934 in Grez-sur-Loing, a French city near Fontainebleu, where he and his wife had settled.

"Human's Lib" also featured this song, "Hide and Seek". Never a Top 40 Hit for Jones, it is still found on the "Best of" album, the "Greatest Hits" album and the "Ultimate Collection".
