The brilliance of Tomita is difficult to understand in the modern era. What he accomplished with a modular and a tape machine was unreal. He would layer hundreds of tracks and mix them down to get a full orchestra, a track at a time, on a 16 track machine. The amount of planning to get a mix that works in the end was insane.
This is;another great 👍 film of Isao Tomita playing music 🎵 on his snythesizer!I’ve alway’s loved his chorel arrangements on that snythesizer!They were magical!🧙🏿♂️ 😊😊😊😊😊
My father met Tomita on an airplane. Tomita was flying to Buffalo NY with a box of special cookies on his lap as a gift for Robert Moog. My father owned and played all of Tomita's early LPs since my father was in the home stereo business and Tomita's albums were widely used to demo speakers and introduce the ill fated quadrophonic systems. They had a lot to talk about. Hearing Tomita play this Disney anthem combines two emotional touchstones from my childhood. My eyes are wet.
What I love most about this is that the ultimate MOOG MASTER Isao Tomita takes time to play this cute little simple tune, on his multi million dollar equipment. 👌👍
Used to listen to this when fellow scholars were listening to Queen or Bob Marley, to name a few. Got laughed at for binging Snowflakes. Never regret it.
This is my favorite version of this song... And, I really like the Leon Redbone and Louis Armstrong versions... It always brings tears to my eyes. It IS The Penultimate Version of this song. No words required...
Tomita-san was my gateway to classical music. I just loved how he created the most extraordinary sounds, at a time when synthesis was in it's infancy. This...this is just so wonderful. Thanks for putting this online Walter. And yes, I'm typing this through tears.
This rendition is both beautiful and immeasurably sad at the same time. I've always loved Tomita's recordings, as he had the ability to trap depth and emotion within his electronic arrangements, which is not easy.
@@timbonator1 "The Planets" in particular. All of his albums were conceived for surround sound. Tomita had one album designed for five channels, using one speaker positioned at the top. For a live performance, he recruited a helicopter to carry the top speaker over the audience! The man was a visionary.
This too was an Amazing musician/composer I believe that's ok to say...but either way. May he rest in peace . My favorite music was his rendition of Arabesque#1 because of the show that taught about stars, constellations , comets etc called "Stargazers with Jack Horkheimer"( may he too rest in peace) that used to come on every night on pbs after the show Dr.Who.

Totally agree with you he is a genius

I loved his Kosmos album.

He was years ahead technically speaking, and as a musician he was spectacular. He gave me many many hours of beauty and happiness.
A great loss. We mourn his passing but remember him to eternity.............and beyond
I agree
I agree too.
When did he pass?
A year ago.
A true pioneer of synthesizer music, he did so many things nobody else had done before.
Leaves me a little tearful. Seeing greatness that has departed this earth is always somewhat sad ;(
I hope this video stays on TH-cam, now ( I had to repost it because it had been removed for some reason.)

Isao Tomita was soooooooooooo far ahead of his time!
I have been a fan of Tomita since the 80's...I think I have all of his albums...the rendition of this song is the reason I am such a fan...

Beautiful! Tomita has been a favorite for almost 40 years !
He made all that seem effortless
TRUE MASTER IN HIGHSCHOOL FIRST TIME HEARD HIS HOLTZ PLANETS COULDN.T BELIEVE IT ....... INFLUENCED MY SYNTH PLAYING BIG TIME .....
You should hear that album in surround sound. It would blow your mind! 🤯
@@n.miller907 What album do you mean?

@@n.miller907 Wow that's cool! Thank you 😀
There’s no one else it could be, the moog master Tomita ❤
Very cool. Thank you Walter. Blessings from Kansas~
Tomita te transportaba a lo celestial...
The Master at work. Beautiful !
素晴らしい、色あせない音、トミタフルート。
This was so beautifully played. It brings tears to my eyes. What a legend.
i feel like its really hard to find Tomita's music aside from his version of arabesque no 1
The vibrato whistle sound was a signature Tomita single-note lead.
Love his unique voicings.

Sublime, no podía ser de otra forma tocando el maestro Tomita. 🙏🏻
God Bless Him Legend
que gran melodía esto merece todos los grammy...
Tomita was the master!
To me he still is
@@WaltKurtz68 I've been looking for Tomita for years because of Jack Horkheimer!
El maestro le dio a ese tema la magia la nostalgia que le faltaba
I know him from Star Gazer
#analog supremecy ❤
Does anyone know what the original footage is from? Would love to see a high quality full version
esta no es la música del clima del 13 o el mega? xd
