Nature in all its gentleness and wildness colours this programme of romantic music, from the gentle first notes of Mahler's Symphony, with its blossoming of Spring and bird calls, to a depiction of turbulent seas off the west coast of Scotland as experienced by the twenty year old Mendelssohn. Schumann's great outpouring of his love for Clara is epitomised in his glowing Piano Concerto.
