Wales might be the land of song to many, but its heritage of symphonic music is substantial. It comes from the many concertos and symphonies of Daniel Jones, Williams Mathias and Alun Hoddinott; to the ambitious brass works premiered by Wales' leading brass band and the monumental choral works from, among others, Karl Jenkins.
