One of his early films for the beeb...this was the story of the final years of composer Frederick Delius taken from the memoir of Eric Fenby who assisted him in writing the unfinished music set aside because of his paralysis and blindness.
None of the flash of KR's later works. Successfully portrayed a difficult, cantankerous old man dying slowly of syphilis who nonetheless wrote beautiful, haunting music. KR later went on to do the lives of many composers.
