Three favourite depictions of a storm in music.

I was mentioning Nystroem's The Tempest on other threads. What an extraordinary work. You can't ask for anything more descriptive than this:

A really good storm! The chorus adds greatly to the spectacular effect.

This sounds terrific Cesar. I must find my CD of the work. I was listening the other day to the 'Snowstorm' from Prokofiev's opera 'War and Peace' which has been mentioned above - a wonderfully evocative section.

I do know that Suite, Jeffrey. It's Prokofiev at his most lyrical and not too harsh as in other works of his.

My pleasure. Indeed, the female chorus was a touch of genius here.

Nystroem is already on my list of composers to explore. I checked.
