William Wallace was a classical scholar, a doctor, a poet and dramatist, a writer on music and musicians, and the man described by Shaw as, "a young Scotch composer with a very tender and sympathetic talent." His orchestral compositions rank amongst the earliest attempts at the genre of the symphonic poem to be made in the British Isles. His choice of subjects for these was at least as wide-ranging as his own interests and achievements. This mid-priced collection of tone poems features Martyn Brabbins leading the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.
