Fingal's Cave
The locals call it Fingal's Cave, a glittering cavern in a lonely outcropping off the coast of Scotland, where wind and sky, land and sea all come crashing together. Felix Mendelssohn had heard about it, wanted to see it for himself. But he was a landlubber who was out of his element. He turned a particularly violent shade of green that day. Today, Gustavo Dudamel demonstrates his sea legs, leading the Los Angeles Philharmonic in the "Hebrides Overture," inspired by Mendelssohn's trip to Scotland in 1829.
