In the second part of Mark Radcliffe's Nature Ramblings, he features music inspired by mountains, including Grieg, Liszt, Mussorgsky and Hawkwind.

In the second of a series of three programmes inspired by the natural world, Mark Radcliffe features musical works inspired by mountains. We begin with Hawkwind's Hall of the Mountain Grill and segue into Grieg's In the Hall of the Mountain King. Works from Hovhaness, Strauss and Liszt are complemented and contrasted with songs from Shirley Collins, Rufus Wainwright and Fleet Foxes as we make our ascent... ending up on a majestic Bare Mountain.
