That's the Tchaikovsky "Cossack Dance" I've conducted and I may have picked it up from hearing Comissiona do it in Baltimore years ago. I think that it also appeared on a Colin Davis/ROH Covent Garden LP of Tchaikovsky ballet music from the operas; whether or not that has been reissued I couldn't say.
