This page contains much music by British composer Ethel Smyth, and includes an excellent documentary.

Not familiar with the work of Dame Ethel Smyth. I listened in on the Concerto for Violin and Horn (1927), which I thought interesting. A book on her was published that might be interesting reading. Thanks for putting this up, sir!

That concerto for violin and horn is indeed a rarity, one that works surprisingly well. It is available on this Chandos CD, along with Dame Ethel's Serenade, a fine combination.
