I am very happy to include this disc in my first web selection, not only because it features two of my favourite Scottish works, by Martin Dalby and Cedric Thorpe Davie, but because there is a link to an hilarious account of the funding, rehearsing and recording by conductor Nigel Boddice, in which he describes all of the repertoire in enthusiastic and affectionate terms. I hope that this disc is still available for anyone curious enough to track it down.
