Looks interesting, particularly The Red Shoes Suite but it's a shame that they have not included anything from Ron Goodwin. There's a couple of items I would have dropped in favour of something by Ron.

I agree - imagine if they did The Yorkshire Television March. I checked with RG's website a few years ago and they confirmed that it was never recorded commercially. Shame, as it's an absolutely thrilling piece.
