Alexander Mackenzie is currently Composer of the Week on BBC Radio 3.

I have just discovered an amateur performance of his first of three Scottish Rhapsodies - the Rhapsodie Ecossaise, Op.21 from 1879 - on You Tube.  David Burchell conducts the Dunedin Youth Orchestra.

It comes in at two and a half minutes longer than the performance by Ian Whyte and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra which, I presume, is still available in the British and Irish music archive.

If you are interested in hearing it go into You Tube and type in: Rhapsody Ecossaise - Dunedin Youth Orchestra 2015
