Frank Bridge The Sea

[@earllopez3643]

This is one of Frank Bridge's best work. I could listen to it over and over.

[@classicalmusic1175]

Another fine British composer that gets overlooked.

[@danielhowe7362]

In my ignorance, I previously thought only Debussy had painted the sea and then I heard this wonderful piece of bliss and I was corrected! :) Frank Bridge paints all of the tenderness, mystery and violence of the sea so well! It makes me cry at the end!

[@internetperiodista]

+Daniel Howe Don´t forget to hear another works: Edward Elgar composed "Sea Pictures", Op.37 and Ralph Vaughan Williams composed "A Sea Symphony"

[@melanieb6914]

👌Vivid descriptions

[@LOL-it1pu]

Add Benjamin Britten - Four Sea Interludes from "Peter Grimes" to your 'to listen to' list...

[@davebarclay4429]

Don't forget Mendelssohn - Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage !

[@oosallytomatooo1321]

And Glazunov "The Sea" as well ! ;)

[@isabeldieguez5214]

Maravilla de maravillas!!!se huele la sal !se oye el ondular del oleaje acariciando las rocas y las arenas !!

[@bloggulator]

One of the most under-rated composers out there. This piece has wonderful melodies, dynamics and arrangement.

[@minacciosa]

I’ve known and loved this piece for years. Gotten to play some Bridge, too. He’s one of England’s greatest. Something about the sea brought out the best in composers. I also recommend Henry Hadley’s time poem “The Ocean”.

[@TheMikester307]

I really had never heard of this piece and hadn't thought of Bridge in years. Then they played the Moonlight section on the radio this evening. Beautiful!

[@frankburrows9850]

A very underrated composer. I do wish his music was programmed more in the concert hall.

[@last9bars]

Would be nice to mention the orchestra in the above description for, without them, it would just be a man silently waving his hands around. The BBC National Orchestra of Wales - fabulous !

[@TheMoot1]

This beautiful and evocative piece and this wonderful composer deserve much more attention and acclaim

[@TheLaura1655]

yes,I agree

[@bartjebartmans]

Excellent composition, beautifully crafted as usual with Frank Bridge. Thanks for sharing!

[@MichaelConwayBaker]

This is so evocative. Beautifully composed and orchestrated. Thanks so much for posting.

Luego se encrespa digno de respeto !!!admirable version !

[@hectorbarrionuevo6034]

Stunning work ! The brilliant orchestration at times reminds me of the light, "fairy" scherzo style, pioneered by Berlioz and Mendelssohn. Possibly my new favorite "sea piece."

[@robinbutler7530]

Such an amazing piece, the depth of themes is truly incredible. one of my all time favorites :)

[@xmickthebus]

Just beautiful, so full of feeling.

[@melanieb6914]

This is why I support our lovely public radio💓 Your brain really loves classical! #TryThisAtHomeKids #LearningISFundamental #StudyWithTheClassical🎶👌 Yes! the big kids too😁

[@stylusfantasticus]

marvelous music

[@alexhamilton9758]

I'll blaspheme and opine that I think this is a greater work than its namesake by Debussy.

[@julianopianaro4544]

really fantastic!!!

[@djangorheinhardt]

"The Sea" is beautiful and the orchestrations and some of the chording reminds me of Im Abendrot from Strauss 4 last songs.That is to my untrained cloth ears. !!

[@acher39]

The other way, my friend... "The sea" was composed in 1911 and Strauss' "Four last songs" in 1948

[@darrylschultz6479]

@@acher39 ""Reminds me" doesn't indicate which order they were composed,but in which order the commenter listened to them.

[@ilirllukaci5345]

Frank Bridge was Benjamin Britten's teacher if I recall. And this was the prelude to the 4 sea interludes.

[@gerardbegni2806]

Frank Bridge was the techer of Britten. We can imagine that he got some inspairation from this piece to write hos "sea interluades' of 'Peter Grimes'

[@vzb444]

Bridge’s The Sea - There’s another title to this Music: Tristan & Isolde. 1st mvt: exile in The forest of Morois; 2nd mvt: Stealing through the midnight garden; 3rd mvt: The Potion; 4th mvt: The Death of the Morholt, and The Death of Tristan Choreography by Vineta Ziemelis

[@alejandroherreradelaparra3977]

Great work. Thums up...

[@richardmedot]

tres beau grand Merci

[@hectorberlioz1449]

Beautiful piece,very much influenced by Wagner and Richard Strauss. There are numerous works inspired by the sea,I would like to mention also:"MOPE" by Alexander Glazunov.

[@obduliorincon6112]

La mer ! A very personal colorful mosaic ..

[@obduliorincon6112]

Debussy had done it before, but with more striking colors ..

[@alexs1504]

@@obduliorincon6112 I think I prefer this one, but it's very personal I guess

[@melanieb6914]

Captivating =) Agreed😊

[@OriginalLHB]

Along with Debussy's La Mer the most fantastic seascape ever composed. Except this is not like an exquisite painting. This is more a hymn and requiem to everybody who ever went to sea. If this doesn't move you check your pulse: you are probably dead.

[@MrRbjunior83]

Lol! You makes me laugh 😂

[@vincejamison2401]

Was at sea on both a naval surface and subsurface vessels and each time I grew to respect the sea; its power; its beauty; its tranquility and its ability to transform the human psyche. You haven't lived until you have spent significant time at sea. Bridge captured the sea beautifully in 22 minutes, but I dare say he barely scratched the surface.

[@LeoRexAnimalium]

wow!

[@galas062]

nice....:) thxs!

[@MrRbjunior83]

The father of the Hollywood music!

[@joanmedina5170]

Just read how this piece influenced Benjamin Britten, so wanted to listen .

[@olivierdrouin2701]

J avais lu qu un compositeur belge avait aussi écrit une symphonie de la mer , presqu en même temps que debussy

[@doinadanplopeanu7570]

agreed mostly with Ben Legebeke
