More? Sea! For the brilliant end of the season of our symphonic concerts, we're heading to the water. Debussy's impressionistic mega-masterpiece La Mer takes us to a luminous Mediterranean scenery. This is what summer by the sea sounds like! You want more! Voilà: With Frank Bridges' suite of four sound pictures The Sea, we travel to the coast of the southern English county of Sussex - sometimes in sunlight, sometimes in moonlight or in a storm. The piece has probably never been heard in Nuremberg. A real discovery! "When I heard the piece for the first time, I was thrown off track," admitted Bridges' composition student Benjamin Britten. He gets his due here with his vocal-instrumental serenade. Six poems from five centuries of English poetry form the basis. They conjure up evening and nighttime moods with effective horn playing and haunting tenor singing. The Symphoniker's solo horn player Matthias Nothhelfer and the Glasgow-born tenor Thomas Walker will provide solo brilliance.
