Enjoyed it thoroughly. A very passionate interpretation of Ernest Chausson “ Poeme de L’amour et de la mer” by Michele Lousier with the WDR Symphony Orchestra under the baton of beautiful Marie Jacquot I like very much.i Thank you for a very detailed introduction to work I read first.
Wow wow wow. Incredible. Beautiful piece and pitch-perfect performance by soloist and orchestra. This is really great, and always great audio/video with this channel as well. Thank you for sharing this.
The Poem of Love and the Sea op. 19 is a composition for one voice (soprano) and orchestra by Ernest Chausson. The Poem of Love and the Sea comprises two large musical frameworks, each consisting of three sections, each based on a different poem. The two scenes are separated by an Interlude where the orchestra alone performs the melancholy and sorrowful melody which connects the various vocal parts. The first picture, The Flower of the Waters, is based on the three poems: « The air is filled with an exquisite scent of lilacs », « And my heart arose on this summer morning », « What a lamentable sound and wild ». The music reflects the marine landscape that sees the birth of love for the beautiful girl, an evanescent figure on the shore. However, there is a foreboding of the end. The instrumental Interlude foreshadows the event of the second scene, The Death of Love. This is based on the poems « Soon the blue and joyful island » as far as the complete work is concerned. Citation Alfred de Musset: I don't know where my path is going, but I walk better when my hand shakes yours. *Lucien*
