Incredible that Greek musician created this which is almost the unofficial anthem of Britain. Truly remarkable. Vangelis was on the greatest composers to have ever lived. Although he has passed his music will live on far into the future. 🇬🇷🎹🇬🇷🎹
When the lungs collapse, when the knees bend, when the heart is ready to burst, yet something pushes you to cross that finish line, be you the first or last. This melody embodies that to perfection.
What a setting ! An Athenian night, lighted Parthenon and Acropolis on the background and under the columns of the temple of Olympian Zeus you're listening to a Vangelis' godly melody ! I wouldn't mind been locked in this setting forever !!!
I deeply cried :'( RIP maestro ! Your music is in the eternity and so do you ! Great thanks to you for all the astonished musical and marvilhous gifts you've given. Though staying in Heaven, you'll stay forever and ever in our mind
When the humans disappear from the universe eventually, and if we are to be remembered by something, I hope it is for our music obviously. And Vangelis' all masterpieces will lead them all effortlessly.
Words are unable to describe the feelings when listening to his music... RIP dear Vangelis.. Another Greek 🇬🇷 musician left... Now in heaven together with the unforgettable Maria Callas and Mikis Theodorakis...
It's incredible how this song, that is so "calm" and not "powerfull" in our hearing , but instead so steadily sensitive, expresses the strength and ultimate effort of the contenstants!!!
Grande Vangelis gracias por dejarnos este Picasso, este Miguel angel de la música... Sencillamente espléndido. Algo bello para el alma y los oídos diferente a la vulgaridad que se escucha ahora y lo llaman música. Gracias por sus obras de arte. Que en paz descanse Vangelis
"Correct" faith? Are you serious? Are you that much of a cretin that you don't realize that ALL religions, all 2600+ since the beginning of recorded human history, even the child-sacrificing worship of Baal, told its followers that it was the "TRUE" faith? Why do you think yours is any different?? All fairy tales!! A disgusting shame that sanctimonious twerps like you use that term 'correct'...while countless thousands have been slaughtered in its name. How fucking dare you!!
Ο Vangelis ήταν ένας παγκόσμιος, συμπαντικός και μοναδικός μουσικός δημιουργός και είμαστε τυχεροί όσοι βρεθήκαμε στην εποχή του. Μοναδική εμπειρία ζωής η επαφή μαζί του. Τόσο ο ίδιος όσο και η παράσταση αυτή έμελλε να αλλάξουν ριζικά την μετέπειτα πορεία της ζωής μου. Του οφείλω πολλά και τον ευγνωμονώ για τις ατέλειωτες νύχτες στο Ολυμπιείο που έζησα μαζί του .
Este martes, 17 de mayo, ha trascendido Vangelis, uno de los más grandes músicos y compositores de la historia, que en mi opinión fue como una especie de “Mozart de nuestros tiempos”, el precursor de la música Electrónica y el género New Age que conocemos hoy. Ha desaparecido un verdadero innovador y visionario, un hombre ahead of its time. Descanse en paz, maestro de maestros, Vangelis.
I would give away 10 years of my life to witness this incredible concert. My heart is broken, my eyes full of tears, I cannot believe He is no longer with us. The sun of music has left us. I will love Him forever.
Una belleza, gracias! Gracias a estos seres maravillosos que tienen la capacidad de elevar los sentimiento de toda una humanidad, admirado y agradecido.
Each time I hear it: I CRY. True, if you don’t cry hearing this, you don’t appreciate his music. When you run….this take a whole of you! Thank you, Vangelis!
lo que debe haber sido estar en ese lugar y escuchar este tema en vivo.....guauuuu,sin palabras.gracias Vangelis por hacer tan linda musica.saludos desde Argentina🎹

The setting among the antiquities of Athens,the music,the connection it makes me feel with my land,where one of the greatest ancient civilizations developed...they all get connected inside me,the emotions I feel about being Greek are out of this world
@Δημ Δ I am not Greek but my best friend when I was a child was from Greek descent and she taught me to love Greece, its culture, history and its traditions. She even taught me a little bit of Greek language!
@@lindaconcoby9312 thank you for your reply on this eve of lent/ i cant see my st paul comment anywhere/can you send it to me as i have had 12 comments deleted from internet since january as my sister maryanne can confirm/presumably the st paul comment was also deleted
I have been following him for almost 40 years. I believe if he had been born 200 years ago her would have been a major classical composer. As today he is a master.
Einfach großartig, ganz große SPITZENKLASSE von,,VANGELIS,,komponiert,u.genau wie der große,,UDO JÜRGENS,,uns Menschen auch so einmalig tolle Musik hinterlassen hat. Diese großartigen KÜNSTLERN werden uns für immer u.ewig mit Ihren einmaligen Musikstücken in ERINNERUNG bleiben. GOTT GEBE IHNEN DIE EWIG RUHE.30.03.023.
Holy moly. This is unbelievable. Everything so timeless and magnificent. I have lost my breathe. The feelings I feel are indescribable. I feel as if I am above all standing on the outside looking in on life as a whole. This is music. I am from the current era and don’t understand this type of music till now. I am enlightened.
A ocean and a musician have the same behaviour, they have similarities to enjoy and celebrate the upcoming waves of Joy........ How a ocean bound people with his love, waves.....is same......love is the first thing.....

The amazing hands of the pianist are so blessed. He has such a vital part in the song. The entire thing is genius and a masterpiece that will forever remain untouchable and timeless!
En el mundo, se está perdiendo el sonido para los oídos, solo hay ruido... A mis 37 años creo que este tipo de música es el mejor arte del ser humano, que se haya creado. Saludos desde Coronel, Chile 🇨🇱
When I ran my first marathon in '98 this was a song on my running playlist. It played while we ran under McCormick's Place in Chicago at about mile marker 23. I was struggling with 10 minute splits coming in. I too cried and couldn't believe when I downloaded my splits I ran at a 7:30 pace for that mile. That song allowed me to come in under my goal of four hours.
FORTALECIENDO EL ALMA Y EL ANIMO EN ESTOS DIAS ACIAGOS DE PANDEMIA Y CUARENTENA.. NADA MEJOR QUE ESTA OBRA DE ARTE Y EL GRAN GENIO QUE ES VANGELIS. UN SALUDO A TODOS LOS HERMANOS DEL MUNDO, Y BENDICIONES PARA TODOS.. DESDE ULLOA, VALLE DEL CAUCA, COLOMBIA!!.

Timeless! I was in tears the first time I heard it while watching the film, and it still touches my soul every time I listen to it. What a genius of a musician. Thank you, and rest in peace.
Played at the start of the Comrades Marathon held in South Africa. Spine chilling watching 21000 competitors at the start line as this is played. Wonderful
Vangelis and 'The chariots on fire' is my school life memory. Those our golden 80's, from when I had started to listening world musics. He's a legendary. My respect to him.
I was on this legendary Concert, Backstage All Area...it was so amazing and after the Show I met the Grand Master Vangelis....He was so full of Charisma and I never forget this Meeting....
Sonidos que elevan el sentir de las personas a un estado de vibraciones armónicas,lo que el mundo necesita Gracias Maestro, por su legado trascendental.
I was an immigrant to Canada, it was the early 1980’s and English was new to me. I was in grade 4 and my music teacher Mr. Purdy played this in music class. I learned to play it on the recorder and can still play it to this day. This music helped so much with a tough transition in my life. ‘There is one freedom…man running alone….each step that he’s taking a step to his own… and if he should stumble as he fall it doesn’t really matter if he gave it his all’ .
