New Jersey Symphony Orchestra: Best of Water January 16, 2011

Elusive and enticing, water captures the imagination. Handel's festive 'Water Music' paints a scene of courtly elegance, while Smetana's 'The Moldau' reminds listeners of the powerful nostalgia that a river can evoke. Strauss's lilting 'Blue Danube Waltz' is famous for its appearance in the movie '2001'; Mendelssohn's 'Fingal's Cave' vividly depicts the rugged coast of Scotland.
