The Dylan Prelude on Marco Polo is one of my favourite (possibly my favourite) of all the works that have been recorded. I have read a post,however,on Amazon that suggests that the composers specified instrumentation was not used in the recording. I remember writing an enthusiastic letter to Gwydion Brooke after hearing the Marco Polo cds when they came out. I remember him telling me (in the letter which I still have) that the BBC had used the small orchestra for their recording of 'The Bells' and calling it a "travesty". I would personally love to own a recording of all the orchestral music from the Cauldron of Annwn cycle,and 'The Wild Fowl'. Imho,I think it would make an absolutely fantastic cd.
