Brett Mitchell: Britten's "Storm"

[tommyberlioz]

Great conductor - well done!!

[windstorm1000]

this always makes me think of the movie "Airport"--they used this storm interlude very effectively as the theme music.

@windstorm1000 the drowning scene music from the time machine by garcia sounds like this thats clip 6 if you watch the whole movie in youtube

This is my favourite movement.

Thanks for the post.

Went to this at His Majesty's Theatre in Perth, Australia yesterday. Magnificent performance. I swear there are some films that use the main motif.

Wow!! Excellent playing and conducting here! I love this piece - Britten is amazing.

Britten is the best! Can anybody post his Passacaglia from Peter Grimes if they have it?

d00d if anyone has a video of Sunday Morning from the Sea Interludes, go ahead and upload, greatly appreciated.

[wolkowy1]

Great! - the orchestra's sound, the conductor and Britten's music!

Send this clip to someone who loves music and thinks classical music is dull and opera silly.

By the way, current production of Peter Grimes at the Met is superb.

I first encountered this opera yesterday at the Met in HD broadcast, and am convinced that this particular composition influenced Bernstein in A Boy Like That. Does anyone else hear it?

I love the sea interludes and Peter Grimes. Can someone post the interlude that sounds like waves and sea gulls on a beach. I think its the 3rd interlude at the bigining of Act III.

Inspiring,

Thanks.
