It is called Welsh Rhapsody and is part of a collection on a CD originally
on EMI and last heard of on Classics for Pleasure. The other works are
Smyth's Wreckers Overture, MacCunn's Land of the Mountain and Flood and
Harty's With the Wild Geese. Well played and recorded, some very enjoyable
C19 rarities.
