Album Notes & Community Reviews

Applying lush, heavily romanticized string arrangements to an iconic American composition, this recording creates a sweeping, panoramic listening experience. The programmatic suite utilizes vivid orchestral colors to evoke the vastness and atmospheric shifts of the natural wonder. The highly accessible, cinematic interpretation cemented the work as a staple of light classical pops programming.
