1:25 begins |

Where’s the gong????

sublime

This promotes spiritual uplift and awakening, and activates the soul

Magnificent! Utterly overwhelming! This is eternal life - a performance such as this!!!

Debussy’s La Mer is well suited to Turner’s seascape paintings

My goodness this is the most beautiful interpretation of this piece i've ever heard, i love how maestro Abbado brought out the flutes at 9:17, and how he kind of sped up that crescendo at 9:20. And i absolutely love how the horns seamlessly crescendo in and out of the texture at 9:20 and 9:25. I've never heard that section being played like that before and it's absolutely beautifully executed. The music world misses you Mr. Abbado.

c est magnifique 😍👍ça fait rêver 😴💤💦👋❤️ bravo l'artiste debussy 🦁merveilleux 😴💤💦🙏merveilleux 🦁❤️😍😴😪💦🙏❤️ j adore ♥ 💋

9:10 why is there no crescendo? It's not what Debussy wrote! I know Abbado wants the woodwinds to stick out. But to keep everyone else soft in order to do that just saps the energy out of that magical passage.

22:27~ The orchestra sounded like how the waves look in the movie "Dune" on planet Caladan. 🥰

Does anyone know who that young cellist is at 20:56?

Superb padisul !

So I guess only the conductor is important enough to be acknowledged? The orchestra doesn't matter?

01:25 __ De l’aube à midi sur la mer - Très lent 10:01 __ Jeu des vagues - Allegro (dans un rytme très souple) 16:50 __ Le Dialogue du vent et de la mer - Animé et tumultueux

Wonderful, wonderful! At 15:00, orchestra loving it, conductor loving it, you know the audience is loving it...a joyous time was had by all. 😁 Thank you, Debussy!♥️

Absolutely outstanding performance

I love this orchestra!!!

Is that Natalia gutman leading the cellos?

thank you

What a glorious performance. Abbado lets the orchestra sing; not getting hung up with controlling each and every nuance.

Urat

Such a magnificent maestro and an incredible group of talented musicians, one of the best orchestra's I've ever had the pleasure of listening to....just beautiful! Bravo!

2004 Carlos Kleiber death 2014 Claudio Abbado death Une perte immense. Personne n'est irremplaçable, dit on, mais il y a cependant des personnes particulièrement difficiles à remplacer. Ciao Maestro !

A magnificent conductor, a splendid orchestra. Grazie Maestro, dormi in pace.

Ciao Maestro! ♡

the oboist is Bart Schneemann, of the Dutch Wind Ensemble (and formerly the Rotterdam Philharmonic).

Beautiful. RIP Maestro

Devastating loss. My favorite conductor. The nicest, the most generous, the widest repertoire, the most modest. The first Italian for Berlin; the reluctant celebrity. Debussy would have loved this performance. 

Descanse en paz, Maestro.

this is beautiful! wonderful! I have no words

21:03...my god... Amazing version

Is that Sabine Meyer?

Where's the trumpet at 24:27?

Superb!

Lamentable perdida.

Beautiful, thanks

Maestre vei ramane mereu viu pentru mine ! Dumnezeu sa il odihneasca pe Omul si Maestrul Gheorghe Mogosan ! Cu respect , George - Valentin Dragomir
