In the final part of Mark Radcliffe's Nature Ramblings, he features music inspired by rivers, including Wagner, Delius, Smetana and Joni Mitchell.
In the last of Mark's rambles through the natural world, he dives into music inspired by rivers. We begin in Russia, with Modest Mussorgsky's Dawn on the Moscow River. Richard Wagner then takes us on a Rhine journey, and we drift along with Alison Krauss, Delius and Joni Mitchell, before flowing into the Vltava with Smetana's famous symphonic poem.
