Landscapes… Music for caves, parks, rocks, islands and an entire continent.

Composers respond to ideas, emotions, literature, people, history… and places. Places they’ve lived, places they’ve been and places they’ve only dreamed of. In this episode Felix Mendelssohn captures the echoes of Fingal's Cave, Peter Sculthorpe and William Barton evoke a rocky outcrop in Australia’s Northern Territory, Charles Ives wanders through Central Park, Peter Maxwell Davies celebrates the town of Stromness in the Orkney Islands, and Ralph Vaughan Williams conjures the frozen wilderness of Antarctica.
