"The Mysterious Mountain" by Robert M. Jones, from the cover of the RCA Living Stereo recording of Hovhaness's Second Symphony.
To some, they are a beautiful and majestic escape from the workaday world—uplifting and spiritual. To others a barrier—challenging, even threatening.
In this hour, mountain music by Berlioz, Strauss, Hovhaness and more.
