Sadly, Bernard Haitink passed away at age 92 in 2021, which means he directed this piece and others in 2009 at age 80!! He last directed a concert in September 2019, which means he was 89!!! Amazing and his directing was too!!
I was there, in Concertgebouw. I actually listened to this performance in Mar 2009. The program consisted of Mozart's 35th, Debussiy's La Mer, and Beethoven's 7th, all of which were so excellent and so touching that I can remember them as if I were listening in now. Although the maestro was suffering from a back pain at that time, we never realised such a disadvantage of his, due to the great rendition. Thank you very much, Maestro Haitink, and Concertgebouw Orchestra led by Mr. Eshkenazy.
I saw him conduct the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 2007. Mahler's 2nd Symphony, got a second-row seat. Truly amazing performance. When I reach his age, I'd like to just be able to stand up for that long, much less wave my arms around the whole time. Considering he started conducting the year my father was born.
This is my favorite Work of Music of all time! Debussy so, miraculously, has recreated the "Experience of the Sea"----he, feels the sea, he lives it!!!! Maestro Bernard Haitink, ALSO, saw something else, which other Conductors just fail to see, and, FEEL before them: The BEAUTY OF THE SEA!!!! He has so much command of the Orchestra, that he brings out the BEAUTY in each Instrument with such care and TASTE!!!! All the sections of the Orchestra sounded so beautifully, with the, exact Poetry of each phrase!!!! This is, indeed, quite a "Master's FEAT!!!! I can't ever forget the truly beautiful "Line & Color" that he culled from each and every one of the Instruments!!!! We, most certainly, need him, today, and in the Future, to make GOOD TASTE and Deep Insight---- Happ
Saw this with my husband last Sunday, performed by the Memphis Symphonic Orchestra, and we live in Memphis, so I am so blessed to have witnessed this absolutely beautiful masterpiece in all its power, in person., I will never forget the experience, not only this masterwork, but of all of the other showcased Classical works of art. Thank God we got the tickets in time!!!
@@reev9759 I said tht I was blessed to have seen this piece in person. It was performed by the Memphis Symphonic Orchestra, and we just happened to get tickets in time to see it performed Live.
@@reev9759 I was only saying that if I didn't live in this area, I would have never been able to see this masterpiece being performed, thus, I am thankful to have seen it performed here. I made a very real connection with the music, that I hadn't been able to make from watching it on various devices in our house.
@@DWClassicalMusicWhat about all those comments that are not in English? Only mine in French was disturbing. The music in this video is French so I wrote mine automatically. Neither French nor English are my mother tongues. Ok, never mind.
I'm a college student here, my professor has shown us this work and I want to indulge for a moment. Debussy: La mer by Bernard Haitink is a piece that beautifully captures the essence of the sea and its hearts truth. Beautifully constructed and composed by the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in a manner of grace, this is my favorite work thus far!
This music is the supreme gift from a genius composer. I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have been challenged on UA-cam because the video did not measure up to this standard and I said so. Then all kinds of folks challenged my evaluation of the inferior work. This is the creme de la creme.
Слухаючи цей твір, я завжди плачу, плачу від щасття що мені пощастило чути цю абсолютну красу... Дебюссі - це людина яку сам Бог послав на Землю. Цей твір для мене є кращим за всю історію людства. Деригент та виконавці просто неймовірні! Щиро вдячний їм!!! ❤❤❤

Debussy est mon compositeur préféré. La mer est un chef-d'oeuvre total évoquant à la perfection les nuances des vagues déferlantes, les bruits du vent, les soudaines accalmies, les claquements sur les rochers, le souffle puissant de la mer. Merci à tous les musiciens de ce concert. Leur prestation est absolument parfaite. Merci également à ceux qui ont réalisé cet excellent enregistrement.
Dit stuk van Debussy is niet mijn favoriet, maar als 'expat' ben ik trots op het Concertgebouworkest, op het mooie Concertgebouw en alle meesters musici die het heeft voortgebracht. Applaus dus en groeten uit zuidwest Spanje ( Extremadura)
This performance is comfortable to the ear an to the mind There is no performance more intriguing and captivating and inspirational and magnificent than this performance
Many modern composers have gone further than Debussy in timbre, study of modes, atonality, dodecaphony, seriality, sonorics, etc. But Debussy still remains a relevant composer with amazing music. The harmonic connection and melody were still important to him.
Que maravilhoso, poder ver e ouvir essa grande obra de Debussy, sob a batuta experiente de B. Haitink e a Concergebouw Orch. Chorei de tanta emoção. Parabéns ao canal por disponibilizá-la. Obra genial, equilibrada e sensível, um marco da música contemporânea.

We're going to watch this being played by the Memphis Symphony orchestra next Sunday, so I'm watching this on my computer, with my good speakers, to prepare myself for it. :)
Debussy's music gives some idea of what Heaven could sound like. Thank you for this wonderful performance, how heartwarming to see people gather and produce this on a stage. It's the best of what humankind can do... that moment at 20:20 is overwhelmingly beautiful. And 22:45... and everything after that until the end :)
THE BEST INTERPRETATION and PERFORMANCE of LA MER on UA-cam.Haitink's tempi are IDEAL. I had the Phillips Stereo Lp when it came out in the late 1970s and this is a mirror. GORGEOUS. My favorite interpretation of La Mer on UA-cam FULL STOP Question: What is the date of this performance
I saw Bernard Haitink in the early ' 80s just before he was about to conduct a concert I eas attending at the Royal Festival Hall in London by the River Thames.😊
Si la musica ademas de escucharse se viera en el ambiente seria el mas feliz de los mortales, las notas bailando . Maravilloso , deberiamos de tener un poco de fantasia.
Deutsche Welle should stick to this. Their journalism is a work in progress. Growing up in Rhode Island, Haitink, along with Tennstedt and Colin Davis, were my favorite guest conductors in Boston and Tanglewood. He was a good match for that "french" orchestra.
You can buy the SACD "Debussy: "Prelude. Nocturnes. La Mer." with Bernard Haitink and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra on the Internet. Have fun with it😊
7:56 who would have thought cello and English horn could make such a powerful statement together. Wonderful orchestration.
Sadly, Bernard Haitink passed away at age 92 in 2021, which means he directed this piece and others in 2009 at age 80!! He last directed a concert in September 2019, which means he was 89!!! Amazing and his directing was too!!
Passing away at 92 isn't sad. I'd say that's a pretty good run.
what a beautiful piece, a dream 😊
NO @meszarosmate4257, THIS PIECE IS TERRIBLE, UGLY AND DEFEAT OF DEBUSSY.
The flute/oboe unison duet at 21:24 is spectacular!

@johannesbrahms, YOU IS A IGNORANT PERSON, BECAUSE DEBUSSY IS A BAD COMPOSER IN SINPHONIC MUSIC. DEPLORABLE COMPOSER.
@@AlbertoCruz-x2d What were you doing here then ? btw, you filthy ignorant, it is written symphonic, not sinphonic 🤣😂🥲🤪😝

This love of me will forever drown in the deep blue sea.
Ive been stranded in an island of thoughts
Filled with agony and hopelessness

There is so much I wanted to tell you
Maybe God take you away from me
So that I can open my eyes and see
That love has no ending its eternity.

Around 1989, when he was about 69.
