Maybe his day has passed, but I have early recollections of some of his
works being played frequently on the radio when I was young, and he is
still recorded and programmed.  The two parts of your statement here seem
to deny one another.  Personally, I have never found anything by Delius to
my taste.  Forgive me, but insipid is the term that tends to come to mind.
No doubt the fault is mine.
