From the Bald Mountain to Puerto Rico with Anne Dudley and Patrick Rimes

Composer Anne Dudley and violinist and piper Patrick Rimes start off with what became a classic Disney soundtrack as they add five more tracks to the playlist.

Today, Anne Dudley, composer and co-founder of The Art of Noise, and Welsh traditional musician Patrick Rimes join Cerys Matthews and Jeffrey Boakye as they add five more tracks to the playlist, including a tender but rather unlikely love affair and a New Orleans classic.
