Vaughan Williams Sea Symphony II. On the Beach at Night, alone

[Espiel78]

I am very familiar with this music, and feel that this is a magnificent performance that is hampered by the sound engineering. The baritone soloist sounds flat and without his natural dimension. I must admit to having stumbled upon this, and I have no idea of the source or the performers. Wonderful music, and most appreciated on YouTube! Thanks...

It was so great to find this on youtube! I am the Baritone soloist, and am wondering if you also have the first and fourth movements? I would love to hear them! Do you know if this performance was recorded? If it was, do you have any idea how I would go about getting a copy of the recording? Thank you so much!

Hello John, I just uploaded the 1st and 4th mvt. I do think the music school has the recording. You should check with them. And let me know if you get a copy!

Does this clip ever start? :)

Very nice playing. Love how Vauaghan-Williams wrote such evocative music to Walt Whitman's poetry. And yes, those powerful brass chords toward the end were played majestically as indicated in the score (Maestoso).

Who is the conductor?

Why could not the long silence in the beginning be edited out? Beautiful brass playing.

Thank you for sharing this...who are the performers, and where are the first and fourth movements? :)
