The Sound of Nature: The British composer George Fenton has created an equally impressive soundtrack for the BBC's visually stunning nature documentary series. His "Planet Earth" music is performed live in concert, surrounded by the other elements of fire, air and water. The German baroque grandmaster Georg Friedrich Händel will perform his "Fireworks Music", which was commissioned by the British King George II and first impressed audiences as open-air music in London's Green Park in 1749. The great US film composer Max Steiner breathes a completely different atmosphere in his title music for the legendary film classic "Gone with the Wind" and the stirring Czech romantic Antonín Dvořák also contributes a spookily beautiful fairytale water music with his symphonic poem "The Water Sprite".
