Apologies if I mentioned this four years ago when I first found it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqzX_xYQYFU is a recording of My Native
Heath, including of course the fourth movement. It's an acoustic
recording, further it's played on non-electronic equipment, so it's
rather wearing to listen to, but it's actually conducted by the
composer, only a year after it was first performed. (I collect "composer
by composer" recordings - such as Kreisler, Saint-Saens, even Elgar who
did a recording of PCM1 to inaugurate the EMI studio in London, the one
that was subsequently renamed after the road it is in. [Piano rolls sort
of help predate recording, but you never know whether they've been
embellished or are being played at the speed they were recorded at.])

Anyway, it's a curiosity - and the full suite may never be recorded again.
