Claude Debussy : Nocturnes (Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France / Mikko Franck)

[@richardgraber1477]

Incredible! Voices are SO pure and in tune. Goosebumps.

[@EndTimeApostles]

This is such a great song .. I love it .. and this orchestra... Wow!!! ❤😊

[@SSNewberry]

The conductor is gentle and precise.

[@susanohalloran7628]

Utterly beautiful. Debussy can do no wrong for me. Xxx

[@dominiquemartin9237]

incroyablement belle et virtuose interprétation de l OPRF Mikko brille par son dynamisme et sa sensibilité et entraine tout son orchestre dans une fète endiablée bravo magnifique

[@Opoczynski]

"Sirenes": Pure magic. I'm mesmerised. The choice of teenage girls instead of adult women is brilliant. They sing with little or no vibrato and their faces are unforgettable.

[@steveshapero5241]

Brilliant move to have the three trumpeters in Fetes facing the wall away from the audience to give that far away "over the hills" suggestion and then turn back in unison to really capture the dynamic difference - though still muted with a straight mute. I've never seen that but now I can't imagine it any other way.

[@adampetersen4795]

what absolute respect this conductor has for Debussy's music, the orchestra and chior. Some conductors slaughter these nocturnes. Well done maestro.

É da tantissimi anni che ascolto questa musica meravigliosa...mi ha sempre ispirato molti brani dei libri da me pubblicati. Piú l’ascolto e piú mi stupisco del talento di tutti gli appartenenti dell’orchestra, del direttore, ma soprattutto quello del geniale compositore...Quanto impegno, talento, genialità c’e in tutto questo... Bravissimi tutti... Ringrazio anche Dio...

A great suggestion, thanks !

Et tout ça dans la joie et la bonne humeur ! Une merveille ! L'orchestre "au diapason'"de son si sympathique chef . Bravo.

Merci pour votre commentaire.

[@zecisalpin]

Mikko Franck, un chef formidable pour cet extraordinaire orchestre 👏👏👏

[@remixuereb]

Le choix judicieux pour Sirènes de Debussy d'un coeur de très jeunes femmes est excellent, cela se ressent et il me semble bien adapté à une ambiance douce et grave, "sans rien qui pèse ou qui pose" Art poétique de Verlaine. La gravité chez Debussy est lié au mystère de la beauté qui se révèle et s'échappe tour à tour, ce beau panthéiste de Debussy, plein de poésie universelle sur lequel l'artiste n'hésite pas , tel un peintre émerveillé, à nos offrir de sublimes esquisses musicales qui inspireront Ravel et d'autres musiciens français et anglais .

[@JulienJulien-sn9sq]

merci pour ce beau commentaire instructif. Je m'accorde avec vous pour dire que nous sommes en plein dans le mystère, la beauté, la poésie.

[@deniseelalala85]

Je n'ai jamais vu le maestro assis durant la piece auparavant. J'aime bien ca. Plus de concentration sur l 'orchestre pendant qu'il offre ca direction si doucement. Et les trompettes en face du mur! Ingenieux!

[@theingabo212]

such a lovely moment!

[@shtonker8]

This was a fine, fine, and lovely performance. I particularly loved the young women's chorus. Instead of having an other worldly sound it sounded young and earthy. I thought of the Bacchae and the chorus dressed in chitons or himatons with wreaths in their hair. A fresh performance thank you very much. Aloha from Hawai'i.

Klare und wunderschöne Aufführung dieses impressionistischen Meisterwerks mit durchsichtigen und perfekt synchronisierten Tönen aller Instrumente sowie himmlischen Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Frauenchors. Der intelligente Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut analysierten Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Einfach wunderbar!

[@mr.thickey1820]

Yes, Yes, Yes, "Ach du lieber, mein schatz"!!! I've been watching classical music videos on my tablets for many years. This particular video is without doubt the best one I've ever seen AND heard!! The video was extra sharp & clear; the sound was most excellent; the camera work was tremendous; AND the music was OUTSTANDINGLY gorgeous! The camera man did such an excellent job of highlighting most every player & singer, especially those lovely young girls as they sung, something their parents would be so proud to see! And Mr. Mikko Frank was a wonderful example, to me at least, of what a fine fine looking conductor should look like, very clean cut!! And he's FINNISH too! It's always such a pleasure to see the musicians "animated" & "into" the music! At 82, I believe this video quality & performers AND music was probably the BEST I've ever enjoyed! Whoever gets the "credit", outside of Claude Debussy, you did a "bang up job"!!! "Gesundheit"!!!!! I'm still STUNNED!

[@scottweaverphotovideo]

Wonderful conducting and performance!

[@pamelastones4802]

Very beautiful, I've never heard it before, and find it dreamy and captivating. 💖

[@frontensemble077]

Never have listened to this. I'm amazed how inspired by Debussy Jerry Goldsmith obviously was!

[@FMIFestival]

The female choir sounds stunning. So, other-worldly!

[@Petr-Skomorohov]

[@davidpanton3192]

They may sound other-worldly but the expressions are most certainly worldly!

[@justpeachymomo]

Only watched this for an assignment for my school. But wow this was incredible! I really loved the third movement. Wasn't expecting a whole chorus! They sounded very lovely

[@jamesstewart1129]

I’ve watched this video over a dozen times and enjoyed it every time. Aside from this being my all time favorite piece, this orchestra is so animated and good. The passion really comes through. I suspect this is in large part due to Mr. Franck. Wonderful performance!

[@Renee2004lr]

I like the way the flutist has her part memorized and looks right up at the camera-person around 7:12-7:15. Like she was expecting the camera to appear!

[@Alkadondon]

I think she looks at the conductor. They all have to look at their parts and the conductor.

[@mr.thickey3959]

“Ach du lieber, mein schatz”!!! “Viva la FWANCE”! “Se manifique”! Awesome piece of great great music! There must have been something in that French wine when Debussy wrote this fabulous music!!! My ears were “dancing for joy” hearing this wonderful wonderful music & performance! That “Cor Anglais” (“English horn” or “haughtboy”) performance was gorgeous, probably my favorite instrument in all the orchestra! Thank your Mr.Claude Debussy for making my “short life of 81 years” such a wonderful experience!!! AND Mr. Mikko Franck - thank you sir for looking so “neat & clean” & bringing great respect to the world of orchestral conductors!!! “Viva le Finland” too! Your country should be very proud of you, as I am as an American! My head will be “dancing on my pillow” tonight when I “TRY” to sleep! “Beau Soir, mon ami”!!!

[@bryangl1]

Beautiful, with a lovey transparency from the orchestra. Only quibble is that the choir should have a more distant and subtle blend with the orchestra in the Nuages movement.

[@Infidelio]

You mean Sirens.

[@bryangl1]

@@Infidelio Yes, I did. Thank you for the correction.

[@markemanuele1929]

When I perform this, I try to have the choir somewhat off stage (in the distance).

[@Infidelio]

@@markemanuele1929 I saw Berlin PO do this in Carnegie Hall and the singers were dispersed throughout the orchestra. It sounded great, but I'm not sure many choruses would be able to accomplish this.

Mikko Franck is putting on stacks of weight and that is probably due to earning too much money.

[@leonardoiglesias2394]

The first movement feels very very in 6/4, specially from the strings. But it was obviously not corrected by the conductor. One two three four five six one two three four five six. It destroys exactly the effect of suspended clouds. The recording makes also sound the first stands of the strings much louder than the rest which kills homogeneity in the different divisi voices. You hear always the concertmaster alone even in tuttis. Strange microphoning. The duo, concertmaster-solo cello has two completely different vibratos and that destroys de homogeneity of the double octaves they have together. One should try to play in function of the duo, it is not a solo.

[@_H_2023]

Love this piece and a nice performance but the acoustics are not helping them at all, far too dry a hall for strings and voices.

[@rebornbosc8171]

Mono... dommage...
