This is the first episode on the American Landscape: Symphonies about America. Let's rediscover deep forests, endless plains, the deserts and canyons, unspoiled views and virgin scenery. AMERICAN HIGHWAYS #79. The first New World Symphonies were ironically not composed by Americans, but by Europeans: music of Delius, Dvorak, Messiaen (though he was much later), and Coleridge-Taylor.
