About this listen
A concert immersed in the sea. It opens with Garth Neustadter’s Seaborne, a film with stunning images of the sea set to music, performed by the Percussion Collective. The work explores water from the air, surface and underwater vantage points. Then the concert flows to Sibelius’ The Oceanides, which has been described as “the finest evocation of the sea that has ever been produced in music.” In Debussy’s La Mer, he pays tribute to the sea in a lavish three-movement masterpiece that doesn’t depict it in a literal sense, but through an interplay of light, shadow and sheer orchestral force.
These audio program notes include music excerpts.
