Bedaŭrinde tiuj diskoj daŭre estas limigitaj pro kopirajto, kaj tial mi ne rajtas fari tion. Sed mi havas la intencon esplori la historion kaj skribi ion pri ili en mia blogo ĉe eomusichistory.com

There's very limited information about it on Discogs unfortunately - but the producer confirmed in interviews that all of the tunes are from classical music. Thanks to other people here and on fedi and reddit we've identified 3 of the 4 - it's only track 11 ("Esperanto") that's still to find now!

In summary: Some of the titles obviously relate to the original pieces, but not all of them! I've identified 7 of the pieces, but I need help with the remaining 4 please! (#2 Mistero Numero Kvin, #4 Tirano, #6 Zamenhof, #11 Esperanto)

Of course if you tell the raven that no you don't want any help, it just responds that it has to help you and proceeds exactly as if you'd said yes. This comes shortly after the following exchange:
Can you see a cave?
> No
Yes you can. Do you want to go in the cave?
> No
Yes you do.

I made a video about Dafydd and his favourite song last year, in which I played my arrangement of the piece on four ocarinas.

Interestingly this record plays at 80rpm, and Discogs has what I assumed was a repress on a different label, but that one plays at the standard 78. (Do I now need to acquire a copy of that one for comparison?)

The choir is from the Borough Welsh Chapel in London, which is still in existence. They won the National Eisteddfod in Liverpool in 1929 with the same conductor on this record, so my guess is that it was recorded late 20s or early 30s.

Couldn't let this one go by without mentioning the marvellously monickered Fish Fish Fish!
(Bet you haddock kind of feeling someone would mention this one...)
