I do wish that RUclips contributors would give the name of the artist who paints these subjects of musical selection. It is not possible to discern a signature on the canvas, if there is one. Perhaps it is so famous that I should recognise it instantly. At the present moment the possibilities are wracking my brain. At least you gave the text and the general information of interest to follow which I think is essential to these videos. Thankyou for sharing. I like this rendition. The diction is much clearer than Janet Baker's. Janet Baker's voice is my personal choice but what use is that when I have no idea about what she is singing. And my very favorite is " Where corals lie," sung to perfection by Dme Janet. This lady unfortunately is singing just under many of the notes, which is very disconcerting. Needs to sing with the smile in the voice. That lifts automatically.
This painting by Winslow Homer ('Breezing Up') was also used as the front cover of an EMI LP of Frank Bridge's ''The Sea'....another great piece of music related to the changing moods of the sea. My grandmother was the first to run swimming lessons specifically for women, and one of her pupils was Ethel, Frank Bridge's wife....but they were conducted in the municipal baths in Brighton, Sussex, England, not in the sea!
Oh gosh, beautiful! I'm in love with the third movement...
I love all five movements!
Dame Clara Butt sang the premiere performance in 1899, dressed as a mermaid.
