Picture a 12 year old boy sitting in the Opera House in San Francisco in 1948 listening to this played by the San Francisco Symphony and Chorus under the direction of Pierre Monteux. That 12 year old boy was me and I was there because my father regularly got free tickets to the Symphony from the drawer in the Musician's Union in San Francisco. On a regular basis my Dad would come home from the "union" with a stack of symphony tickets for his "long-hair" son. (My father was a career jazz clarinet/tenor sax performer in dinner clubs in the city.) The waves of transcendental music washing over me at the threshold of my love affair with classical music! From moments like this, my earthly eyes looked into heavenly realms and I decided to become a classical pianist. Ah, Debussy! Ah, Pierre Monteux! How lucky I was and I never looked back!!!
@@bpowell875 We are talking 1948 here. The war had been over for three years. We were in a secure time of our existence! Crime was not an issue at this time because I was able to take a bus to the SF Symphony and back home after the concert which was late for a 12 year old. I also walked to movie theaters when I went to movies either during the week (sometime in the darkness of night) or early Saturday morning (for a kiddie matinee) or Sunday afternoon. Never a problem, not even fear of reckless drivers. Ah, the arts could thrive at a time when America was safe for its citizens. The movies and the fact that people went to movies multiple times a week in total expectation of complete safety. Where have these happy, simple times gone? Times change and so do people.
gosh so many years ago I used to listen to the nocturnes until very late at night. Listening takes me immediately back to that time period. I literally used to listen to Debussy every single night. It was like dreaming while still being awake. This music has a PROFOUND effect on me. Perhaps only next to Bach, Debussy is my 2nd favorite composer of all time
Con esta obra conocí y me enamoré de Cecilia. Nos escribíamos y nos recomendábamos música todas las noches. Ella era una poetiza del violonchelo. Ejecutaba con tanta destreza su hermoso instrumento que contemplarla mientras hacía música era una bellísima postal . .. en mi memoria guardaré con amor la imagen de Cecilia tocando su violonchelo.
This is one of the most beautiful pieces I have heard in a good long while! Never really listened to a lot of Debussy, but now I am totally hooked. This beautiful song turned a bad day around, and made it lovely, instead.
Les Sirènes m' est la plus inoubliable de toutes les oeuvres de Debussy: Le simple et le mystère sont deux manifestations du même phénomène.Ce n'est pas qu'un artisanat, c'est un pouvoir inspiré de toute vie.
Mi hijo Benjamin, quien se define a si mismo como 'saxofonante' 🎷, me. transmitió esta maravilla, hace años y desde pequeño. Agradecida a sus enseñanzas, también hoy día 💚
La primera vez que la escuché (en yt) fue gracias a la recomendación de una compañera. Hace muchos años. Me gustaría seguir escuchando sus recomendaciones.
never have experienced such a beautiful match of music and pictures--we were desperately seeking the sirens--the sea, the creatures and me even the man o war from portugal
He amado siempre esta pieza, pero cuando vi por primera vez un amanecer en un vuelo, solo me evocó a esta maravilla y la amé mucho más. Gracias, Debussy, donde quiera que estés.
Debussy... Absolutamente imprescindible para entender la música sinfónica del siglo XX; un innovador, un avanzado a su tiempo, otro que, según alguno de sus profesores de música, "no sabía escribirla", y sin embargo lo que hizo fue revolucionar los cánones armónicos que desde Bach tan bien habían funcionado para hacer algo completamente novedoso, como este maravilloso movimiento "Sirènes" y, en general, todo el tríptico "Nocturnes"... De hecho, toda la música de Debussy respira vida y a la postre influencia a buena parte de los grandes compositores contemporáneos y posteriores...
Dolly, my thoughts exactly. I think it would be wonderful to have surround sound and a panoramic view on screen of a ship on the ocean bobbing along and then seeing sights of rocky crags in the distance....and maybe a computer version of a mermaid here and there....lol
Now here's a concept, why can't the folks at Disney make a new kind of Fantasia style movie based around Debussy's finest work ? To include this beautiful piece & many others of course. Just saying that's all.
En dépit de sa diversité stylistique, il était avant tout un compositeur d'esthétique expressionniste, toujours proche du drame, de la profondeur, de l'angoisse et la vision profonde et tourmentée de la vie qui semble émaner de la métaphysique de l'homme comme de sa même nature profonde!
Debussy foi um compositor que sabia traduzir sensações, sonhos e imagens em sons. É sem dúvida o MAIOR do século 20, seguindo a linhagem da evolução musical.
Una composición llena de matices, sorprendente por la gran genialidad de Debussy y que evoca in extensu la vida marina.Gracias por compartir este ensueño.
nunca reniegues de tu pasado musical,ni siquiera de tu pasado como persona, todo lo que uno escucha hoy es por todo lo que crecio escuchando variedad, yo amo la musica electronica y a mi nadie me dijo acercate a este compositor mas que google, hoy por hoy despues de escuchar mucha
De grandes femmes aux corps de poisson chantent une mélodie d'amour les marins leur cœur enchantés se laissent séduire sur la mer et ses alentours Le poison de leur bouche sensuelle et blessée dévoile ainsi tous leurs atouts tombe alors une pluie d'or sur la mer déchirée par le chant léger pur et si lourd que les marins périssent un à un avec Ulysse et son épopée
Mi compositor favorito del movimiento Impresionista del siglo X1X. Y no lo digo por cosa de q sea Frances. Es q el tuvo esta habilidad extraordinaria q cada partitura es un Canvas lleno de viveza y color. Cada persona tiene sus predilectos, cosa la cual yo respeto muchisimo. A mi, mi favorito es el movimento impresionista del XIX. Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Stravisky, de mis predilectos. Gracias mil y el video muy hermoso.
me acabo de enterar que Debussy era un completo antisocial que preferia a los gatos antes que a los humanos como compania,me senti identificado y me imagine que seguramente me iba a gustar su musica, es hermosa
This piece, the 3rd mvmt of the Nocturnes , has always, for me, had a mood elevating and hypnotic character. I could listen to it all day and all night. This is what the real Sirenes, if they had existed, would have intended. I'd love an extended version, an hour long.
It's a whole orchestra and full ladies' choir, yet so simple. There's beauty, yet a feeling of dread. You're drawn in to your downfall. Debussy managed to catch the feeling in less than ten minutes.
The music fits the sea theme because both are mysterious and beautiful. The sea is mysterious but not scary or sinister, and I think this piece compliments that.
Igual, gracias por la musica y el video tambien. Esta muy apropiado; es sobre el mar; el video no tiene nada de malo. Lo disfrute mucho tambien. Gracias de Nuevo.
Lovely music. Nocturnes (L. 91), sometimes Trois Nocturnes or Three Nocturnes, is an orchestral composition in three movements by the French composer Claude Debussy. It was completed on 15 December 1899.
Lin A yes, there is a certain part in the middle where it sounds like the waves are more active and the mermaids can be seen. I feel the same way. I have learned to sing it since it is easy with no lyrics. When I do it's almost entrancing, putting me into a higher vibration or something. I just become overcome with awe. Funny thing is I am a bass so I end up using falsetto or switching octaves frequently. haha
Debussy tiene la habilidad de llevarme a ese mundo de los elementos que el desea proyectar a traves de su musica, agua aire noche lluvia nieve. romance
Les Sirènes, bagi saya, paling mengesankan dari seluruh karya Debussy. Kebersahajaan (hanya dua nada utama) dan misteri merupakan dua dimensi dari hakekat yang sama. Itu bukan sekadar kepiawaian seniman, melainkan kekuatan wahyu sepanjang hidup.

Que hermoso lo q describes
When I am dead, I want my ashes to be spread at sea while this music is played. Merci Claude, la mer nous fascine.
This is one of the most beautiful pieces I have heard in a good long while! Never really listened to a lot of Debussy, but now I am totally hooked. This beautiful song turned a bad day around, and made it lovely, instead.
my absolute favorite piece of all time!

Hace años la canté junto a la Coral Filármónica de San Juan, Puerto Rico...esta obra es de particular belleza y misterio...como el Mar mismo...
Wow awesome voices!!!! The Angel's in heaven listen to such music!!!!!!!!! I am sure!!!!!
Ésta magnífica obra me sustrae de la realidad con mucha facilidad. Toda la música de Claude Debussy me hace explorar terrenos oníricos.
Ennél szebbet ma nem is hallhattam volna. Restellem, de eddig nem hallottam, legalább is így képekkel. Köszönöm szépen az élményt.
Maravilloso, la música y las voces de las misteriosas sirenas. Gracias..¡¡¡
I always find hard to associate this music with the picture of him so formal , but some where deep in is heart this the way he is .
La primera vez que la escuché (en yt) fue gracias a la recomendación de una compañera. Hace muchos años. Me gustaría seguir escuchando sus recomendaciones.
Amo a Claude Debussy me fascina toda su obra, gracias por subir esta maravilla

Gracias por esta pieza, Debussy siempre ha sido mi favorito
Verónica Varela ___How fast the time passes ！ It passed five years！
Can you imagine walking through the hallways of a big Mausoleum listening to Debussy's Sirenes? Very eerie, but yet so Beautiful!

That would be reaaaaaly cool!!!
They can't take the risk. The other Fantasias did ok (10M for 2000), but it's just too risky to try another right now.
Biggus Dickus When millions of dollars are on the line, aphorisms are just not going to cut it mate.
Se7enwonders I'd like to see a smaller company try and do that. Disney's style is on its way down right now if you ask me
but i don't know if they could add as much soul, perhaps hayao miyazaki could much more
Sublime... gracias. Es una de mis piezas favoritas y las imágenes son estupendas.

Вниманте! Эти звуки опасны для восприятия! Я спокойно лежал на диване, потом включил это, и... Меня унесло в море...
Enchanting, like the sea.

All I ever listen to is rock and metal... sometimes I like to set that aside and listen to the good old classics.
Wow this is totally new to me I am enchanted beyond words I love Debussy
beautifull isn't it ? ^_^
Thank you! Definitely wonderful! I love you Debussy!
It is lovely to hear the sirens singing (the magical creature- not the emergency vehicle!)
Stuart Safford 🎹🎵🚓🚑
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwww!
Tales Of Brave Ulysses how his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing.
Stuart Safford Sirenes is The same of "mermaid" in english??
I AM brazilian. Explain me, please
Coz in spanish we call the sound of the ambulance as SIRENA (mermaid in english)
If I were to drown, I'd love to hear this in my dying moments. Having sirens singing sweetly to me as I draw my last breath.
La pude escuchar sin interrupciones. Gracias!
Debussy's music brings me to another world

Simply Excellent, Wonderful, Fantastic.
mas que una musica es una sensacion, una impresion en notas. Magnifica como muchas de las operas de Débussy :) gracias por este video
You have made a thing of real beauty. Your video compliments Debussy's music very nicely.
Thanks for posting.
me acabo de enterar que Debussy era un completo antisocial que preferia a los gatos antes que a los humanos como compania,me senti identificado y me imagine que seguramente me iba a gustar su musica, es hermosa
esto es musica de otro planeta grande claude
soberbio, sin palabras es música del sentimiento .................
This is such a breathtaking piece of music! Beautiful images of sea creatures, too!

Fantastic work, very impressing. Well done, Nelav !!!
This is beautiful to the next level, but I also find it a little unsettling and mysterious....sirens
Well, maybe just a little. But a fine piece by Debussy.
Claude Debussy beni
sürüklüyor, eşsiz bir yorumcu.
Duygu dünyanızı zenginleştiren bir sanatçı. 💙
Breathtaking!
AMO A LAS SIRENAS Y A SU ENCANTO, LAS BUENAS, Y LAS OTRAS¡¡
A Poesia da música de Debussy é genial e única !
So wonderfully soul-soothing work....I loved it !
The music fits the sea theme because both are mysterious and beautiful. The sea is mysterious but not scary or sinister, and I think this piece compliments that.
the sea can be terrifying!! tsunamis and sea storms are to be feared!!!!
But i agree with you.
It reminds me of "The Little Mermaid"
I thought it was....
Daniel H sirenes are scary and sinister
@@HiddevanderMaas sirens,not sirenes.Sirenes is in Portuguese
Claude, je t'aime et tes sirènes m'enchantent à la folie.
Fantastic piece of music and really love the photography. Thanks.

brilliant and rather unsettling
Such a master piece
Whenever anything goes wrong, Claude Debussy is always the answer.
1:38 sounds like the sirenes are floating up. To the surface. I always goose bumps when I hear this part.
Lin A yes, there is a certain part in the middle where it sounds like the waves are more active and the mermaids can be seen. I feel the same way. I have learned to sing it since it is easy with no lyrics. When I do it's almost entrancing, putting me into a higher vibration or something. I just become overcome with awe.

sirens,not sirenes.Sirenes is in Portuguese

Debussy tiene la habilidad de llevarme a ese mundo de los elementos que el desea proyectar a traves de su musica, agua aire noche lluvia nieve.

This piece seems to do justice to the definition of Sirenes, evocative of compassion yet sinister feeling...
sirens,not sirenes because sirenes is in Portuguese
