The River Connection 3

“A river is water in its loveliest form,” said conservationist Roderick Haig-Brown. “Rivers have life, and sound, and movement, and infinity of variation.”
Composers, too, have been inspired by the varied nature of the rivers they knew. It’s a theme we’ve explored before—but like the water’s flow, there’s always more to come along.
In this hour, music by Brahms, Saint-Saens, Delius, Prokofiev, Williams, and more.
