Music
“The sea fascinates me to the point that it paralyzes my creative faculties. Moreover, I’ve never been able to write a music page under the direct and immediate impression of that great blue sphinx”, Debussy wrote to express the great admiration he felt for that landscape of strength and beauty. But even with the limitations that the French musician felt facing the ocean, he composed one of the most representative pieces of musical impressionism, called precisely: The sea.
As in the plastic work of the same aesthetic trend, the notes of this work blend insinuated forms, with a time and timbre freer than their predecessors used to. "From dawn to noon on the sea", "Play of the Waves" and "Dialogue of the wind and the sea" are the three movements that integrate this symphony.
The performance presented of this symphonic triptych was recorded live at Nezahualcóyotl Hall in the University Cultural Center, in the Summer season 2009 of the Symphony Orchestra of the Palace of Mines, under the conduction of Carlos Miguel Prieto.
