Artist David Hockney takes Judith Bumpus on his famous drive through the Santa Monica mountains in California at sunset - to the strains of Wagner blaring magnificently from his car stereo. On the way, he talks about the nature of the landscape which suggests special moments in Wagner's dramatic score.
