If you don't know it, Delius' Piano Concerto is well worth a listen:

It has some absolutely stunningly beautiful passages, particularly the intensely memorable lyrical second subject of the first movement. The recording on Chandos with Howard Shelley is of the earlier version, I believe.

Hyperion made a very compelling argument for the Delius PC in the early version in Vol. 39 of the RPC. I have always had a soft spot for this concerto.
