CONDUCTOR ’ S VIEW :

Mother Nature provides the ultimate inspiration for these finely attuned composers . Beethoven ’ s Sixth Symphony strolls through the Austrian countryside , Dvořák visits the tranquil Bohemian forests , and Florence Price envisions the grasslands of the American South . On the wilder side , Rimsky-Korsakov weaves a tale of the raging sea , and Mexico ’ s Arturo Marquéz reimagines an ancient fire ritual .
