艺人介绍

弗雷德里克·阿尔伯特·西奥多·戴留斯，CH（英语：Frederick Albert Theodore Delius，1862年1月29日－1934年6月10日），又译“大流士”，“弗雷德里克”又作“弗里茨”（Fritz），德国血统的英国作曲家。

戴留斯的父亲是来自德国比勒费尔德的羊毛商人，戴留斯少年时从父经商，曾到德国和美国工作，后决定从事音乐事业。1886年入莱比锡音乐学院，并结识格里格。次年到巴黎居住并与拉威尔等人交往。1897年结婚后，定居在枫丹白露附近的格雷兹絮洛安，专心从事创作。1918-1922年曾短暂返回英国，后由于健康原因返回法国。晚年由于梅毒后遗症而瘫痪并双目失明，靠助手芬比帮助完成了最后一批作品。芬比也因为这个无私奉献的事迹而名垂青史，他本人曾写过一本书专门讲述他做戴留斯助手的经历。1934年逝世于格雷兹絮洛安。

戴留斯对自然景物极为敏锐，善于描写大海，春天和田园风光。作品常用缓慢速度，形式不拘一格，和声清澈优美，配器富于特色，情调近似印象主义，但音乐语言较为保守，因受格里格影响而多有浪漫主义与民族乐派的因素。戴留斯的音乐最初在欧洲大陆非常流行，但在英国的声誉很晚才得以建立。著名指挥家比彻姆一直致力于推广戴留斯的作品。

Frederick Delius was an English composer who forged a unique version of the Impressionist musical language of the early twentieth century. He was born in Bradford, England, in 1862, and died in Grez-sur-Loing, France, in 1934. He did not come from a musical family; rather, his father owned a wool company and hoped that his son would follow a career in business. Delius, however, wanted to study music, and though his father did not approve of music as a profession, he did not discourage music-making as a pastime; thus, Delius was allowed to study the violin and the piano. To his father's dismay, he also spent much of his youth sneaking away from school to attend concerts and opera performances. When he completed school, he went to work for his father in the family business. In 1884, he left England for Florida, where he worked on a plantation as an orange grower. While in Florida, he began studying music with Thomas Ward, a musician and teacher from Jacksonville. Delius proved to be a failure as an orange grower, and began supporting himself as a musician. In 1886, his father arranged for him to spend a year and a half studying music in Germany at the Leipzig Conservatory. Though Delius would later insist that he learned very little of importance during his stay in Leipzig, it was there that he met Grieg, with whom he forged a lifelong friendship. Grieg convinced Delius' father to allow the young man to become a composer, and Delius, with the support of his formerly reluctant father, soon moved to Paris and began living the life of an artist.

Once in Paris, Delius began composing in earnest, and towards the end of the nineteenth century had already completed two operas, Irmelin and The Magic Fountain. In the first decade of the twentieth century, Delius married the painter Jelka Rosen and produced a number of important works, including the opera A Village Romeo and Juliet, the large-scale choral works Appalachia and A Mass of Life (based on the writings of Nietzsche), a piano concerto, and a number of songs and chamber pieces. His music was well-received throughout Europe, and Delius was quite successful up until World War I, when he was forced to leave France for England. Despite his renown in continental Europe, Delius was virtually unknown in his native England, and his stay there was marred by financial difficulties. After the war, Delius returned to France, where the syphilis he had contracted in Florida gradually caused him to become paralyzed and blind. Ironically, as Delius became increasingly infirm, his fame began to spread. This was due in large part to the efforts of English composer Sir Thomas Beecham, who championed Delius' music and organized a Delius Festival in 1929. Though terribly ill, Delius nonetheless still wanted to compose, and in 1928 enlisted the services of English musician Eric Fenby, to whom he dictated music (Fenby would later write a book about Delius). Towards the end of his life, Delius was made Companion of Honor by King George V of England, and was awarded an honorary degree in music by Oxford University. Before his death, Delius was able to hear his music over the radio and on record, but these accomplishments paled before the terrible deterioration of his health, and he died in seclusion.
