I wish all of the ELO albums from El Dorado all the way through Out of thr Blue would be reissued as strictly instrumental orchestra mixes. With the original Louis Clark Orchestration and group instrumentation. I would buy every single one of them and listen to them every day.
I hope it will soon. It would be so great!!!!
Haría lo mismo y sería genial tener todos instrumentales
Couldn’t agree more!! The instrumentals are beautiful
Instrumentals only tracks !
A YT poster named ASH-II has posted a load of ELO songs with vocals removed.
Jeff Lynne was truly inspired when he wrote this music. Brilliant.
Wouldn't be what it is without Louis Clark
Dear Lou Clarke, Jr. -- My deepest sympathies to you and your family on the loss of your dear father. We all have a huge debt of gratitude for the beautiful and inspiring music your father shared with us. May God bless your father's soul. Louis Clark -- Rest in Peace.
Incredible. A dream come true to hear Louis’ contributions to Xanadu this clearly. His orchestral work really made the album. Or at least the ELO side. Louis Clark, the unsung hero of ELO.
Louis is an incredible string arranger. It was a gift from the Gods when Jeff met Louis and created this Incredible Music.

GOAT thank you
My favorite song is I'm Alive
Rest In Peace Louis Clark ..
I'm still crying.
I can understand why some people here are having tears while listening to this medley. I am feeling emotional too because we can hear the strings so well in these excerpts from Xanadu. The ending theme from Xanadu is really something. It’s the part of the movie where Kira appears in a sparkle dress. The violins are so vibrant, it’s amazing. Thank you for giving us another dimension to this music. ❤️❤️❤️
RIP Louis Clark
Brilliant! What a way to celebrate Xanadu on it's 40th Anniversary,
What a nice music it is !
from JAPAN
Always thought that Louis was the 'O' of ELO>.. amazing !
This is the O in ELO. Oh how wonderfully pleasing to the ears this is.
Sorry but in every e.l.o album strings arragiaments are credited to Jeff lynne richard Tandy and Louis Clark. No E.L.O. without Jeff lynne. He wrote every thing words and music
@@ottaviomini6390 In 1974 Jeff Lynne wanted to bring a big sound to the ELO recordings, so he brought in Louis Clark as a string arranger and conductor. What happened next was magic -- the golden years of ELO (1974 - 1980). During these years ELO released their most commercially successful and beloved albums including Eldorado, Face the Music, A New World Record, Out of the Blue, Discovery, and the Xanadu soundtrack. Without Louis Clark there is no orchestra (Jeff cannot read/write musical notation and he cannot conduct an orchestra). Jeff is an AMAZING MUSICIAN and in my opinion the BEST EVER, but it took a team of very talented musicians to make the incredible ELO sound and Louis Clark is an esteemed member of that team -- he is the "O" in ELO.
@@norwoodbuilder7529 it is not so. you think this but reality is very difference because the Great louis clark is only orchestral director and helped jeff Lynne to writing strings. be will informed. You will read this everywhere. By
@@ottaviomini6390 The significant impact that Louis Clark had on ELO shows up not only in the lush orchestral sounds, but also in the album sales. All the best selling ELO albums and highest charting hits feature strings by Louis Clark. Louis has also done impressive work on his own, just take a look a Louis Clark's 1981 "Hooked on Classics" album which sold millions of copies and charted in the top ten in many countries -- the guy is amazing (I think he single handedly outsold the ELO Time album in 1981-82). There are some fans that like to give Jeff Lynne sole credit for ELO's success and he certainly deserves major credit, but please do not marginalize the other band members and especially Sir Louis Clark who will always be the "O" in ELO.
@@norwoodbuilder7529 ok very well. Alone in the universe and from out of nowhere after many many Sears un chart and one in num. 1. In all the date concert sold out every night. Sorry without louis clark. However the old e.l.o membra were very talentes musicans at the best
Louis you are fab thankyou
Nobody better on this beautiful planet than Jeff Lynne! This is wonderful incredible music by a music wizard!
Las fantasías que Jeff Lynne tenía en su cabeza, las hacía realidad Louis...y en fin...eso era la magia....
☺️🖤😎🎵 Hooked On ELO
Louis, you are brilliant!
still listening to this beautiful arrangement in September 2021.
Covid19....Be Gone !!!!
I love all the music of ELO and the genius Jeff Lynne is.
I remember reading years ago that in the last months of his life, John Lennon said he loved the song All Over the World (the instrumental track which kicks off this video).
Synth work on the fall is great
Love Mik Kiminski violin playing
Me too. Shame Mik Kaminski wasn't on this album
@@timwingham8952True, Jeff Lynne had sacked the ELO string section before Xanadu was recorded.
@@davidmacgregor5193 Yep. Apparently by letter. Not Jeff's finest moment.
Many thanks Mr Clark!
Missing ONJ😢🙅♀️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is such a treasure trove because the Orchestral part of ELOs music was being toned down in the mix later on and I think this album was the last to have a full Orchestral score. To hear it properly is amazing, as it is on any of their tracks from this period. If there are any more in the vaults, I'm sure us diehard fans would go crazy to hear them. Thank you so much for putting this together.
I really miss it in their recent music. The reason I love the band so much is because of the orchestra. Can't have ELO without the O
All I can say is wow,I would have bought this instead of the sung version back in 1980
It would be wonderful if the 'Xanadu' soundtrack was, like all the other studio albums, reissued in expanded CD form, with 'Drum Dreams' and Olivia's 'Fool Country' included... and in Japanese mini-LP/papersleeve format, please!! 🙏🙏
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this treasure! Especially THIS close to Xanadu's 40th anniversary! I hope the actual score is around the corner! Again, Thanks!!
Stunning! - Would LOVE to hear the full length orchestral score
🎶🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻❤️ outstanding!
Yes the soundtrack of my life and yes Louis Clarke was the difference, from Eldorado to Xanadu this was when ELO was at its best. Jeff Lynne went in a simpler structure after that time but for me the period from 1973 until 1980 was the sound the made ELO.
I've removed my original ( nice) comment from a few months before your father sadly passed out of respect as it asked the question is there anything stopping your dad and Jeff doing another elo album. I'm so sorry for your loss and the music worlds loss ( I lost my dear dad 1 year ago. I know the pain) . A wonderful talent as heard on these beautiful but brief snippets of just some of his work. It will live on forever in our hearts and minds. Thank you.
Brilliant Lou! (-:
Thank you very much...❤️❤️❤️
Im getting so emotional listening to this. The Fall is so touching.. superb songs, shiny uplifting string arrangements. Xanadu is Elo legend forever ❤️
Marvelous.
Thank you very much...❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔝🙌🏻 🙌🏻🙌🏻...
! WOW !
Musical genius forever !
What a great tribute to your father !Love his work on Eldorado!
Hey has your Dad spoken to Jeff or any of the other members of ELO since the band broke up
Stunning, thanks for sharing Louis :-)
I can't believe I'm just now discovering this... wow. If there ever was a Criterion-like release of an album this would be the kind of stuff you would find on it. Xanadu was the album when I was 9-years old in 1980 that made me a lifelong fan of ELO. I was hearing this rock band with this incredible orchestral sound and Louis Clark was the man who gave it that sound.
Brilliant, thanks for sharing. I would love to hear the whole tracks in that format.
La magia de Lynne-Clark. Sonido único, de una época úNica.
Wonderful 👏👏👏🥰🎼😍🎼
Always felt that the album was considered an Olivia Newton-John release, ELO/Lynne did not get enough credit for their contribution. This music helps support my argument, thanks.
Lynne didn’t get enough credit the string section didn’t get enough credit .Nobody talks about the string section
Amazing work
Wow! Keep them coming Lou. Fantastic!!
If anyone could ever add a string section to something and turn it into a masterpiece, it is Jeff Lynne!!!!!
Jeff Lynne, absolute genius!!!. Prior to them breaking up the Beatles agreed that should anything happen to one them then Jeff should be brought in as a replacement. The man can do no wrong!! Fantastic instrumental mix 👍👍
Beautiful track. Fantastic arrangements. Makes me wish these two were really singing it to each other and this was just the beginning of a beautiful musical relationship.
WOW!!!!! (I'm speechless...)
Fantastic! Wonderful to hear the orchestral arrangements and your father's efforts and talents in more pronounced fashion on these backing tracks. Thank You for posting - keep them coming.
I think Louis Clark should have song writing credits for this stuff.
He got credit for composing the string with Jeff and Richard
@@nightisright1873 Yes, but it's not in the same category as co-writer, which I think he should be.
@UC1JGFh3VARbxER8kD9DOU4g definitely but Jeff Lynne has to be fucking prick when it comes to music
But he didn't write any of it!
Waited for so long to hear the orchestral part for all this songs, marvelous.
Просто шикарно! Бессмертная музыка на все времена. Jeff lynne forever!
Wow this is INCREDIBLE! My favorite album with my favorite artists. This is a gift! So amazing to hear. Thank you.
Amazingly well put together.
SO COOL
FANTASTIC!!
I love this. These guys were awesome!
Beautiful medley, thank you.
This is amazing -- thank you for posting!
This is absolutely amazing!
Beautiful!
Gracias por este regalo, es maravilloso 🙏🙌✨🎆
Wonderful , please keep these coming , they are true gems
Its just fantastic, great job, muchas gracias Señor Clark.
Wow. This is fantastic. Thanks for the upload😀
Fan bloody tastic!!!!!
Thank you. Love it. Such great music
Beautiful ❤
Thank you for this wonderful melody dude
What a heartwarming mix . !!!!!Thank you very much . 👍
This includes an alternate mix of the strings on Xanadu, which is very different than the released version. Much more bold with the strings playing very high. I like it better. It also has the string part at the outro of Don't Walk Away, which tragically on the release is part of the fade out.
what a different sound - it was very nice; however, Xanadu is one of my favorite songs, so of course, the original is my preferred choice
Awesome!
WWJLD 😎 Jeff Lynne would give 2👍 up!!!
Thanks for this, I’m a newb and this was the perfect introduction to something I may never truly understand 💜
Oh my God This is absolutely outstanding...Best medley of my life
Excellent! Made my day that did :)
This is the best of the West!
I"m so touched, it brought tears to my eyes... Could you please upload the entire songs?
I'm so with you. Its fantastic. I knew more alternate music had to be floating around. I need to listen again and again.
Great and just tribute to your father
Hey has your father spoken to Jeff since Discovery
@@nightisright1873 Louis worked with Lynne on "A love so beautiful" by Rpy Orbison ten years later Discovery, on 1989, before,.also worked on 1983 Secret Messages album and in the ELO live band of the 1986 Balance of.Power promotion.
elosevilla what’s the point of having him there was no strings on Secret Messages
@@nightisright1873 listen to hello my old friend from Secret Messages ;)
NightIsRight There’s strings on the Secret Messages tracks Stranger, Danger Ahead, Train of Gold, Buildings Have Eyes, Time After Time, and Hello My Old Friend. (All conducted by Louis Clark with the Hilversum Radio Orchestra.) Plus, there’s a violin solo on Rock n’ Roll is king by Mik Kaminski. You just have to listen 😉
Engineered. R.Mack.. (ELO and Queen)
