I have been out to sea on everything from a ferryboat, aircraft carrier, cruise ships, and a sailboat. Nothing can compare to the power of the ocean. This music takes me back to the exhilaration of the sea air. Such a beautiful piece, and so masterfully played. BRAVO!

Simply wonderful music beautifully played and conducted. Maybe slightly depressing that such music is virtually ignored by the “big names”! Bravo.

My thanks to Maestro Altinoglu and the whole orchestra for this stirring performance of a massively underrated classic. Delightful playing by everyone.

It's like reading a magnificent poem about the sea.

Wonderful performance from the whole orchestra and Alain. Applause and standing ovation from home.

Makes my heart happy to see this wonderful music being performed & remembered outside of Great Britain...and beautifully performed 👍

One of the greatest, and certainly most obscure, English orchestral pieces ever written.

Best orchestra on the planet.

Einfach toll, dass das Orchester auch solche wunderschönen Werke von eher unbekannten Komponisten spielt, Bravo!!!

Quel magnifique coucher de soleil sur une mer magique de beauté , paisible et languissante

Such a beautiful and rarely played work.

This fine Music is vastly underrated! It's Moods mirror the Sea so perfectly! That glorious Ending!! Debussy's Interpretation is wonderful but I feel Frank Bridge went deeper into the Sea and produced a Gem!

A very nice concert I am streaming on tv now. Thank you for the introduction to Frank Bridge’s wonderful concert, performed by the Sinfonieorchester led by Maestro Alain Altinoglu.

Puis la mer se réveille vombrissante d' écume charmante mais en colère contre un ciel qui ne l' écoute plus et s' obscurcit soudain . Mais l' espoir renait avec un soleil merveilleux eblouissant qui revient !

Beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing this. Consistently the best channel on KZfaq for orchestral concerts.

Excellent orchestre, chef inspiré, doué et charismatique. Belle œuvre. Final impressionnant !

A truly fantastic piece of music, so atmospheric

Ich kannte diesen Komponisten nicht. Da wurde es Zeit! Lt. Wikipedia gehört FRANK BRIDGE (1879 - 1941) zu den bedeutendsten Komponisten Großbritanniens. Seine Musik gefällt mir sehr gut!! Das Hessen-Rundfunk-Orchester auch. Das habe ich schon öfters im Radio (Hessen Kultur) gehört. Sehr schöne beeindruckende Musik - gut gespielt mit dem Dirigenten Alain Altinoglu!

Piękny koncert. Dziękuję bardzo.

Wunderschöne und detaillierte Aufführung dieser fein komponierten Suite mit farbenreichen und gut phrasierten Tönen aller Instrumente. Der letzte Satz klingt echt spektakulär und auch energisch. Der intelligente und geniale Dirigent leitet das hoch funktionelle Orchester in verschiedenen Tempi und mit völlig effektiver Dynamiik. Wahrlich hörenswert!

a magnificent work

이 울림 ! 너무 좋아요 😀 응원합니다 🌱 🌻

Bravo!!👏👏

This might be really special on bassoon as well. Thank you for sharing your work, and enjoy the spring!!

Bisher die schönste Einspielung von diesem Stück, die ich kenne :D

Superb! Please make more videos of under-appreciated British repertoire like this!

Fantastic,fantastic,fantastic

One of my favorite gems for orchestra! Fantastic performance...I've always wanted to arrange the piece for smaller ensembles/piano.

Thanks.

Should be more famous and played more often

Superb

I love it ❤️

How could anyone listen to this phenomenal performance of a great, underrated classic of the 20th Century British repertoire and not be moved? Bravo to hr Sinfonieorchester - Frankfurt and Maestro Altinoglu for an incredible interpretation of this work, which so wonderfully captures the volatile, unpredictable nature of the sea: calm one minute, ready to destroy one the next. The British composers of this era seem to have had a finger on the pulse of the natural world. One must assume that this was recorded at a time when Europe was slowly emerging from the fall-out of the plandemic (no misspelling), thus the lack of audience, who, had it been in attendance, would have been treated to one incredible performance. A curse and pox on you globalists for your unwarranted and insufferable attack on the artistic world to further your demonic agenda!

As fine a work as Debussy’s “La Mer” yet rarely played, congratulations to all concerned. As always superb playing.

Without doubt a major composer. The Sea is a nice piece. His best orchestral work however is, by some distance, the Cello Concerto Oration.

Didn´t know this conductor, but seems to be good.

How is it that this fabulous piece never shows up in U.S. concert halls? I only wish there were an audience, who would have been cheering at the end.

Чудесное произведение о море!

If Frank Bridge had been German he would now be celebrated in his home country for this wonderful work . However, being English he is undervalued and seldom heard in his native land where only pop artists are celebrated.

Amazing

Brilliant playing of a piece I've long loved. Intoxicating melange of Brahms, Dvorak, Debussy, Bax , Richard Strauss, Stravinsky (Firebird vintage) and Vaughan Williams. In some ways a very plangeant and dark-hued work, "freighted with portents", because it represents a whole culture and ecology of musical tastes (from established late romanticism to still avant-garde Paris and Berlin) which was about to be eviscerated and incinerated in the horrors and idiocy of the Great War. I suppose it depends in part on who one believes were the wire-pullers, operating behind the surface and often absurd brinkmanship of August 1914. Being a classical Marxist, I see the interests of armaments manufacturers, war profiteers, and international financiers licking their lips at lending fortunes to governments. A capitalist class yearning to whip up artificial levels of xenophobic nationalism, and turn working classes against each other, in wars that served no one's interests except megalomaniac politicians and gutter-morality profiteers. And in particular, the anti-human creatures of Wall Street, who were keen to bankrupt the French and British empires, so that Yankee capitalism and imperialism and militarism could newly hold new sway over vast international markets, and command global resources at the point of American guns. All that is sinister in those schemes, and all that is imminently tragic in this needless European civil war, can be heard in this music. Even if Bridge new nothing consciously of these accumulating forces and machinations. Great artists are able to read the tectonic shifts and directions of an epoch subconsciously with often shocking perception. Especially given Bridge's heart-felt pacifism: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Bridge Love andrea

Esta orquesta tiene directores jóvenes que tienen en común una gran precisión y delicadeza. Debe haber alguien, el empresario o algún jefe, que vela y provee, para procurarse tan buenos directores, hasta el punto de que yo que sólo elijo y escucho, cuando la hay, ejecución de Directores como Mengelberg, Furtwängler, Knapertsbusch, Kraus, Solti, Rohzdenstwenski, Böhm, Kubelik, Sawallisch, Celebidache, ... pongo las versiones de estos ditectores, entre mis favoritas.

Bridge isn't even much of a name here in his native UK so I was surprised to come across this!

Beautiful piece (completed by Bridge while he was staying in Eastbourne on the south coast of England) & beautiful playing- btw, who's principal oboe here?

Modern composers were so dramatic

Most "impressionistic" music leaves me cold, and this "Sea" is as cold as it gets. Atmosphere abounds, but without any musical interest; it all seems like empty gestures. It's no fault of the FRSO however, who sound as brilliant and committed as always. "
