Ireland's A Downland Suite, Orchestral Poem and Concertino Pastorale performed by City of London Sinfonia

The mature Ireland is only glimpsed in the 1902 Orchestral Poem, but Hickox ensures you keep listening. Plenty of rewards in the Concertino’s worried lyricism and the Downland Suite (string version).
