That CS80 sound is to die for. Iconic Vangelis. You cannot hear that sound and not associate it with Vangelis. Bladerunner soundtrack is the best ever.
Goodbye and until next time, glorious Maestro. You preferred to learn by yourself instead of having music lessons, because you were better than all of them. You made me dream and travel in ways that I didn't think were possible. Thank you for your works, you were a light in the music world, which nowadays is losing quality fast, but now with your departure for the stars, became much, *MUCH* poorer. But for a time, you were here, and now your legacy will endure forever. Which means you will too in a way, because that's what happens with legends. Thank you.
The physical presence of Vangelys is gone but the divine presence of his beautiful and harmonious melodies that inspired us to dream, enjoy and inspire us and delight us with his beautiful music remains with us friend Vangelios Odiseas Papathanasius "Vangelis" thank you for your music and the beautiful moments we live listening to you, God receive you in his lap
Just like that quote from (I think) Michelangelo after creating La Pietá: _"I didn't sculpt it, it was always there, I just removed the stone in excess"..._
i have listen to this demostration many times, i cant belive that its only a improvisation this wonderfull music , composed in that moment , my brain cant belive it , beyond my understanding
MIDI and computers are great, but there is something, some special quality in performances like this, real time WITHOUT any kind of sequences nor loops, pedal drone tones at most. Bravo!
Since my father had a tape with Chariots of Fire in the 80s I, as the under ten years old boy I was, fell in love with his music. For my father this just was a tape with some random new age stuff for all he knew - for me it is a defining part of my life since then...
What makes Vengelis great is the same thing that makes David Gilmour of Pink Floyd so great. Sure, there are many other musicians that can play what they do and play more technically challenging music, but they play only what needs to be played in the precise manor that it needs to be played. The production of their tone is also remarkable.
Vangelis is a virtuoso and there are videos where he is really shredding on the keys ! But his music on his albums is more or less more atmospheric and emotional than fast and furious, athough often very dynamic too.
This is a non stop delight to 'see' Vangelis "creating" a piece in few minutes. What is prodigious is his ability to choose the right sounds to converge to what he is attempting, and the ability to exalt the powerful sounds to a deep ephemeral masterpiece...
Sleep Well Vangelis. Your music came from the heavens. It still feels raw that you passed away, but you left a gift for everyone to enjoy your music forever. For me, you were like a friend I never knew. Your music meant so much to me personally growing up. and also influenced me professionally as a musician. I listen to your music everyday, and I think about all the special memories your music gave people, and what your music and legacy will forever mean to me. Sweet Dreams Vangelis.
J'avais un extrait d'une minute dans mon PC, téléchargé en 2003, à l'époque du 56k... Je trouve aujourd'hui, 18 ans plus tard, l'extrait complet... Le Yamaha CP-80 est l'instrument qui me fait le plus vibrer, ce ressenti est encore plus fort lorsque j'écoute Vangelis en jouer). Regardez à 2:40 la sensibilité, la précision et l'émotion qui se dégage de la plus petite note tout juste audible... Merci Vangelis et merci pour la partage !
Absolutely Love the sound of the Yamaha CS-80 it must have been his favourite Synth to use because you hear it's distinctive "Sounds" on most of his early albums
I guess that the normal process for a "normal" gifted musician to create a piece like this one should be to work for days or weeks on the melody, on the sounds, on the arrangement... What do we get here : something which could appear on a very good Vangelis album, just perfect, great melodies, the right sound at the right place, played with so much sensitivity. And all this was just a 5 minutes improvisation... Vangelis, was unique. Of course there are many great musicians, great composers but Vangelis had a unique kind of genius. I will miss him a lot, his sublime melodies, his amazing sounds, his eternal desire to explore music under all its aspects.
God be with you for ever, man! Playing and composing from The heart = The Only Way ❤️ Let followers try to learn within the todays forces of $. Blessings from Sweden to everyone ❣️
Rip maestro, your music is a great part of childhood. My father (rip) played your music every single day. I still thank him for it everyday, your music lives on.
One of my all time favorites of his is Abraham's Theme from Chariots of Fire. Its such a haunting and yet satisfying slow theme. Few other pieces satisfy me as much.
Luck? No. Try hard work and commitment. Lack of ego. Even if you think that this special gift of divine felling is his talent only, it actually came from his whole life experience - the way he lived, how he treated self and other people. The way he worked on himself, spiritually, opening his mind, learning all the time. It is no luck or talent - it is only a choice. Be wonderful person, and you will make wonderful music. Just connect with your soul. His music is pure expression of his soul.
This is correct. He plays part of the main theme from Blade Runner, heard over the opening credits, over the opening cityscape and in Tears in Rain. This video is 1981 so maybe we are witnessing him create part of that theme during his improvisation.
Although without any significant formal musical education, he was a proof of learning through working resulting in splendid and outstanding musical outputs. As he kept claiming during his life, without knowing musical script he intuitively felt vibrations and universal frequential order music is coming from, and was able to transmit it to mankind owing to his devotion he luckily descovered rather early in himself and followed this path despite everything. His interviews are indeed a bright flame of aestethics and an excellent example of attitude that every musician in the world should listen to and reconsider, offering a plenty of matters such as the importance of beauty in human nature etc.
Increíble músicas que me parecen recordar de otros mundos lejanos y cercanos a la vez detrás de ése tupido velo de la niebla que tapa la embarcación. Gracias Vangelis que ahora te encuentras en esos mundos donde las música se subliman a la máxima potencia del Alma Universal dónde seguirás componiendo con tu espíritu llibre ya de la materia.. Siento algo muy especial sobretodo en minuto 1:52 en adelante y 0:44.
Bonsoir "L' Homme inconnu dites- vous "??? Qui à vendu 75 millions d' albums dans le monde , pour un musicien qui écrit ,met en musique , VANGELIS est auteur et Compositeur , il à ce jour 14 disques D' or , et pour un Autodidacte , c' est exceptionnel ! Moi j' ai 47 ans , et cela fait 40 ans que je le suis . Je connais très peu de musiciens qui ne passent pas par les maisons de disques ! Comme le Dit VANGELIS , je ne vous impose rien , vous aimez ou vous aimez pas ! Les Gouts et les Couleurs ne se discutent pas ! Si vous n' aimez pas c' est votre entier droit ! Mais il y à ceux qui aiment ou n' aiment pas ! Mais y à aussi , ceux qui ne veulent pas aimé , car c' est pas tendance ! C' est pas dans l' air du Temps ! C' est dépassé ! Libre à ceux de ne pas apprécié . Pour moi c' est un Géant ! UN Pionnier de la Rencontre entre les instruments traditionnels ( Violon , flûte , Guitare , Harpe , Clarinette ,... ) et les instruments électroniques . Tangerine Dreams et VANGELIS sont pour moi les pionniers de la musique électroniques , des synthétiseurs , puis suivi de Jean Michel Jarre arrivé en 1976. Donc pour moi VANGELIS est un GEANT . Et à 74 ans , le même âge de notre Johnny Nationale qui vient de nous quitté ! Et bien non , VANGELIS n' est pas un inconnu .Fabien F

I agree. I know very few people who have heard of him let alone any of his music (except Chariots of Fire and Blade Runner). To the Unknown Man is timeless and beautiful. You are right!
Thanks for every bit of music you gave to the world.
That CS80 sound is to die for. Iconic Vangelis. You cannot hear that sound and not associate it with Vangelis. Bladerunner soundtrack is the best ever.
@Scott Luther It wasn't just vangelis that used it. Giorgio Moroder used it along with the Jupiter 8 in the Scarface Soundtrack
the CS80 is Vangelis
@@carolina-qp3cu yeah I understand
Yep you could die if you tried to lift it by yourself!
@@joecantdance494 Absolutely! That Instrument makes you go weak even at the thought of lifting it 😬😬😬👍
Rip my friend. You gave me 40 years of musical pleasure. I thank you. You will be greatly missed :(
He is not ahead of his time. He is exactly where we needed him and when.
You might be right. I'm just 20 and I love his melodies. What a synth genius.
Exactly !!!! Great comment. Thank you.
Vangelis turns music into magical textures that goes directly to our souls. Simply Master.

Erm.. the formal name is Evangelos actually. Not Vangelios.
"I function as a channel through which music emerges from the chaos of noise"

like an old justin timberlake ...

I have been listening to Vangelis for more than 30 years (since the Cosmos series by Carl Sagan) and still amazes me.
49;since "rain and tears"...
juste fermer les yeux et voir ce que le cœur entend. Merci Monsieur Vangelis
C’est la musique des rêves.
CS80 and CP70 classic Yamaha instruments, played by Vangelis... what's not to like right?! 😉👍🇬🇧🎹🎵🍻 RIP maestro....
Thank you Vangelis for all the music that took me to other worlds. Your genius will be forever. RIP

Exactly right...they both have the gift....
Agreed. When I heard Gilmour’s parts in Live at Pompeii I was completely blown away. His additions to the songs were in every sense perfect.
Nail on the head
David Gilmour is not even close to Vangelis. And Eogwr Waters is most of Pink Floyd although Gimour is very important in that mix.
Дуже ніжна,фантастична мелодія!Феномен геніальносі Вангеліса!❤❤❤
This is a non stop delight to 'see' Vangelis "creating" a piece in few minutes.

I just remember this magnificent piece as "Waves of Memory" Thank you genius you are now in the vast universe you loved the most...

A master class from the master of class, a living legend, pure genius
Hands down the most relaxing song ive ever heard
I like the low quality sound? It makes of sorta ethereal. Like suspended in space...
Poco a poco y casi sin esfuerzo, las notas van componiendo otro hermoso tema de Vangelis. Por favor, No le olvidemos. For ever Vangelis 😞
No podemos olvidarlo. Era un regalo al mundo.
Absolutely Love the sound of the Yamaha CS-80 it must have been his favourite Synth to use because you hear it's distinctive "Sounds" on most of his early albums
not his early ones. his a little later ones. Earth, Apocalypse des Animaux, Heaven and Hell do not have them. Not sure when he added first time.
The greatest keyboard of all time. The CS80 is what makes me believe the future will at least have a great sound track.
Brilliant! 4 mins in there's a phrase which hints at bladerunner score.
I noticed it too. Glad I’m not the only one who caught that.
to create such music out of nothing is absolutely amazing He is so blessed! I love all music, he created. its out of this world!
Музыка Вангелиса-это Космос!!! 👏👏👏
Segun el era su inspiracion!
Your passing hits hard... Grateful for coexisting with you.
an absolute master, a genius with unmistakable and unique sonority and melody...

Great composer, arranger, keyboardist and synth programmer. I know just only a few people of this scale
Great! But what I miss in so many videos is: the indication of the year. It was 1981, by the way.
God be with you for ever, man!

I could listen to this all day and all night. So much beauty here!
WoW. Amazing. Evangelos is a Genius.😍
Master, what would my life be without your music. Inspiration, greatness and.. eh, words won't describe it... thank you
Beautiful so beautiful
Rest In Peace ❤️
One of my all time favorites of his is Abraham's Theme from Chariots of Fire. Its such a haunting and yet satisfying slow theme. Few other pieces satisfy me as much.
simply amazing.
His albedo on all of us was and is 100%…… simply the very very best…….we are all the better in our lives because of Vangelis….thank you..x
Sounds so lyrical & soothing!🤩🎉❤

I could live inside of this song forever.
Uncut Gems is literally a cover of this
There will never be anyone like him. Ever. Again.
A big genius.

RIP Vangelis
Genius...🖤
Estos sonidos llegan al alma.....
época dorada de la música...... me encanta la síntesis electrónica....
Y una estrella en el firmamento luce muy fuerte alumbrando mi corazón. Te quiero hasta la eternidad mamá.
El más grande y quizás uno de los últimos alegría y tristeza Gracias por tanto
Takes me back to my first year in college when our professor played this video the morning before class started
Vangelis un genio tiene una sinfónica en sus manos bravo¡¡¡¡¡
Awesome! Amazzzing! Sound from God...
One of The God Father of Electronic musik,,,,,
I have so much memory from childhood whit his musik

Un genio mi sir vangelis💖👍💕💫
Nunca defrauda, alimento para el espíritu. Vangelis for ever.
In all this media or societal hubbub, listening to Vangelis puts the "internal spiritual church" back in the middle of the village...
genio una verdadera obra de arte
An authentic genius of musical composition of our century, now you can make music together with Mozart!
A true legend!
