Firebird by Isao Tomita REMASTERED 

all of Isao's music, made it easy to visualize what the songs are about. whether it is Firebird, or Planets, or any of the others,,, you put on the album, and close your eyes --- you can't help but dream it into existence... the Firebird, for me, is a huge Golden Eagle of flames. red, blue, pink and purple. ridding the world of the evil King Katschei, and ushering in the new leader...

I used to listen to tomita while reading science fiction when I was about 9 to 13 years old... this was the first album I heard. My uncle Pipo had no idea he would change the course of my life from that moment on... Forever grateful 🥲

This album literally changed my life. It was a preview of the future of keyboards! Tomita was so ahead of his time!

This album changed my life ❤️🧡💛 My Brilliant, award-winning singer/songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist/engineer father introduced me to the brilliance of Isao Tomita ❤️🧡💛

Always loved this album. I listened to it when it first came out (years ago) and still listen to it today. Timeless music by the late great Isao Tomita. TY for posting.

one of the best electronic sound ever

One of my Heros since 1984.R.I.P. Tomita.

A true pioneer of Electronic synthesize music....!!!!!!

Takes me back to the 70s. Still have the album.

Every time I hear it I'm transported back to the first time I heard it and I just could not believe my ears such beauty as I had never experienced before!

I wish I had the funding to create a sci-fi movie around this music...

One of my new favorite musical things I stumbled upon

rip To a Real Master Isao Tomita Of the moog listened to it as a kid Many Times With My Next Door Neighbor Marc Hartzell Who Had It On A Lp

GRANDIOSO ; NADIE COMO ÉL . UNA PERSONALIDAD EXTRATERRESTRE ; SIN DUDA ALGUNA

Aw man, I read that as “freebird” and was like “Hell Yes!”

This remaster has the majestic power that was lost in the original CD master. The last few minutes makes my head explode again!

pure vinyl, pure magic

Nice to hear Remastered! cassette version, now bit stretched!

Desde mi infancia escucho fire bird de Isao tomita ,me hacía soñar y sigo igual vuela mi imaginación .Bosques Solitarios y noches de Luna llena me eriza la piel , he tenido sueños surrealistas con esta música .

This is amazing

4:59 the "round of the princesses" starts

Sometimes I think of this Igor Stravinsky piece as the most beautiful piece ever written (and Tomita does it well). (His "Le Sacre du Printemps" to me is the most cacophonous piece ever written. ) By the same composer.

Everyone of all over the world mourns Mr. Tomitas death， and I thank as the same japanese . I knew to have been loveed by everyone of all over the world for the first time by this site . It is affected.

Have a listen to Larry Fast's 1st release Synergy. Enjoyed both this and that as well

Oh, my God!

Isao Tomita makes JM-J seem amature.

Anyone who inserts adverts in a musical work should be blocked for life

Amazing - this can't be vinyl, can it?

I was wondering why this sounded so bad then I read "using vinyl". Oh dear, that's a pretty wrecked copy there :-( I've got a mint english pressing so I might give it a shot too, will let you know how I go.

...I used to consider this Tomita's most successful synth arrangement, but (mind is blank, sorry...)..."maybe" the thought was the idea of Asians taking "western" (well, Russian actually...which is potentially a little Asian) art music and reinventing it...no Austrian or English arseholes drooling over classical Greek and Roman statues...just total imagination without the need of objects or even a storyline...classical composers using texts of bad old "hubris" stories for inspiration; bad idea...Tomita sending their tunes into another dimension; good idea?...a fresh approach...but but (mind is blank, sorry...). Seriously, though, I do remember listening to this and Stravinsky's score back to back and preferring this. Not many times (hardly at all) can I say that of Tomita's things, except perhaps some of his Ravel and Prokofiev interpretations. Debussy? Holst? Nah. Leave them alone. Don't tamper. Tamper.

「シンセサイザーを大衆にアピールするには、よく知られたクラシックをアレンジするのが得策だ」と考えたようだが、オリジナルとの違いから、「邪道だ」「お遊びだ」「生楽器には到底かなわない」との声も多かった。 だったら、冨田さんはどんな曲でも作れるし、シンセサイザーでお遊びみたいな音が大好きなんだから、コミカルなインスト集の路線にしたら良かった。何かにつけ、フェイザーやフランジャーのモジュレーションを前面に出しすぎた音には辟易した。
