An hour on stormy seas
We'll spend an hour with music that evokes raging storms and unsettled seas. Wagner's "Flying Dutchman" Overture sets sail from Aspen, Colorado. Le Concert d'Astree summons up a storm by Rameau at France's Palace of Versailles. And we'll have some Malcolm Arnold sea shanties for winds before docking in Risor, Norway, for a lovely Mahler Adagietto.
