I would like to salute everyone of you who have watched and shared comments about these videos. Vangelis’ music, thoughts and vision regarding Music and life in general, was, is and will always be a source of bright light in our lives.
I feel so sorry that for two years in the past I was working right across his house in Athens. I saw him a couple of times in the street but I never approached him to say hi. I regret that so much. I loved his music, I liked the man through his interviews. But I never found the courage to approach him. I was afraid that I will bother him. RIP
Normally I watch this video for inspiration but today came here to respect the brilliance of this master artist. Glad to see there are so many others here too. Thank you Vangelis!!
He did so much to change the perception of Synthesizers. A master in his class. He made Heavenly music, i hope he has been delivered to that very place. God bless. 🙏🙏🙏
I love how Vangelis describes what I have realized only quite lately after making music for decades: The more effective you get in creating music, the actually harder it gets to work on it. It demands so much emotionally from you when you have reached a certain point, that it becomes a pretty exhausting matter. Can even fuck you up sometimes. Long live Vangelis!
So sad that.... those who are so good to give us the greatest sense of strength .. we have to find out how fragile they are, losing genius artists hurts like hell...good bye beautiful monster, his compositions will last forever instead, unforgettable delight
Un génie, un surnaturel , un ange , le grand compositeur qui a sublimé la beauté de la vie , le monde d' ici bas et l'au-delà au confin. ( Albedo , spiral , ..... Irène papas le petit oranger, john Anderson et sans oublier les plus belles compositions des grands films . Il a dessiner une bonne partie de ma vie ; j'ai dessiner le reste . Longue vie à ce grand monsieur et vive volos !!!! La Grèce.....au revoir mr vangelis l'univers vous remercie.
How very nice to see and hear Vangelis himself speak of the mental processes behind his masterpieces. I have often wondered but never seen nor heard from this genius as I listen to his compositions, what thoughts go through his brain to compose what he does. A true modern day classical artist, not to be taken lightly. Thank You for posting this!
4':39" "I am there, but I'm NOT there"... WOW!!! He speaks about what MUSIC IS: to transcend through sounds!!! That is AN EXACT QUOTE from super genius Mtro. Sergiu Celibidache, the father of "Musical Phenomenology", maybe not eevn known to Mr. Vangelis... WHAT A SUPER GENIUS Mr VANGELIS WAS!! JUST BEYOND AMAZING!!!
I think Oskar Sala could relate to Vangelis' statement. He too spent years and decades reffining his instrument and its possibilities to fulfill the demands of the music itself.
Vangelis avait épousé l'affirmation de Yannis Xenakis qui prétendait que l’instinct et le choix subjectif sont les seuls garants de la valeur d’une œuvre 🕌 Sa dernière période musicale en collaboration avec la NASA me semble beaucoup moins inspiré mais tout ceci est bien sûr, très subjectif 😉
Es un virtuoso de los instrumentos. creo que ademas de teclados tambien toca instrumentos de cuerda y baterias. admiro a las personas virtuosas que dominan varios instrumentos. Mike Oldfield tambien es virtuoso instrumental que domina muchos instrumentos. Billy Curry de Ultravox. en Astradyne demuestra virtuosismo del violin ademas de los teclados. en el concierto "Return to eden" de 2010 recibe los aplausos del publico tras un solo de violin. por supuesto Jarre es muy bueno con los teclados pero no se adentra en otros instrumentos.
I have to say I didn't thought he put much effort into it, haha...but I guess he's saying himself that he doesn't know how certain things he does happen, etc, which is how I imagined he experienced things (I suppose 'cause he pretty much said so in certain documentaries, etc, haha)...
