I was brought up in Bradford and as I grew into my teens and became ever more interested in music and the arts, I became aware that one of our greatest composers Frederick Delius was also born there.
One of the first records I was given was a recording of his music which did two things , it gave me a life long love of the sound of strings which has never left me, and it also fed my interest in his music, encapsulated in his piece La Calinda.
A march by John Philip Sousa is a completely different but equally impressive musical score, none more so than his 'Liberty Bell', which has a fascinating history and I will tell you all about it in this episode of Frank Renton on Brass.
