Some composers have the gift to paint with sound, to create musical pictures in our minds. We’ll hear cinematic music by Ferde Grofé and Ottorino Respighi in spectacular recordings that more than demonstrate music’s power to communicate.

Compositions and Recordings

Grand Canyon Suite
by Ferde Grofé
Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra

Pines of Rome

Lorin Maazel and the Berlin Philharmonic
