Vangelis ‘Chariots Of Fire’ Tearful Last Interview Before Death | He Knew He Was Going To Die😭😭

- Опубликовано: 4 июл 2024
- Vangelis, whose instantly recognizable musical theme for 1981’s Chariots of Fire won an Oscar and became a sort of aural shorthand for tales of endurance and triumph, died May 17, according to his representatives. He was 79.
His assistant Lefteris Zermas has confirmed the death but did not provide a specific cause, saying only that Vangelis died in a hospital in France. Greek newspaper OT is reporting that Vangelis was being treated for respiratory infections
Born Evangelos Odessey Papathanassiou in Greece, the composer and musician known worldwide simply as Vangelis, combined orchestral music, electronic synth sounds, jazz and ambient to create a then-new sound for the film that seemed to provide the musical equivalent of the ocean waves that crashed as the story’s Olympic runners sprinted down the beach
Vangelis would go on to compose scores for Blade Runner (1982), Missing (1982), Antarctica (1983), The Bounty (1984), 1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992) and Alexander (2004), among many other recording projects, but would forever be most closely associated with the Chariots anthem. The theme, released as a single, reached the top of American Billboard Hot 100 chart, and has been used in countless sports presentations since, including the London 2012 Olympics ceremonies.
After beginning his career in the 1960s in the pop music world, Vangelis also developed an early affinity for film: From 1963 to 1967, he scored music for several Greek movies, launching a film and documentary career that would last decades.
By the 1980s, Vangelis had also segued into the progressive rock sphere, most notably in collaborations with Jon Anderson, the singer of the classic prog-rock band Yes.
In the mid-’70s, Vangelis relocated to London, launching a recording studio and landing a recording deal with RCA Records. On that label, he released a series of groundbreaking ’70s albums that experimented with electronica, chamber music and world music. His 1980 collaboration with Anderson, Short Stories, became a hit in the UK. The duo would reteam on various projects throughout the decade.
Some of Vangelis’ work from the era was used in Carl Sagan’s 1980 TV series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, providing an even larger audience for the composer’s work. That same year, he began work on the film commission that would provide global fame.
Originally called, simply, “Titles,” the theme for director Hugh Hudson’s Chariots of Fire, released in 1981, would play no small part in the film’s success, rivaling Bill Conti’s theme from Rocky (“Gonna Fly Now”) as the go-to musical accompaniment for sports events and other tales of hard-won victory. The film, which starred Ben Cross and Ian Charleson as British competitors in the 1924 Olympics, would win four Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Costumes and, for Vangelis, Best Original Score. The song was later used at the 1984 Winter Olympics.
Vangelis followed up that success with a memorable collaboration with Ridley Scott for 1982’s Blade Runner, nominated for both BAFTA and Golden Globe awards.
The two would reunite in 1992 for 1492: Conquest of Paradise

A huge Greek left, but the work he left behind, will remain alive forever ...............R.I.P. VANGELIS.
I do not remember shedding tears for the pass away of other than family and friends, but for Vangelis, I did, and I am still doing it while writing these words. He was a friend that I have never met, but through his music masterpieces, he inspired me for over 4 decades. He gave life a new meaning. Farewell you genius, rest in peace in the heavens. I shall definitely miss you.
I've lost another hero. I know they're getting old & death is inevitable but the loss of his talent & creativity hurts too much. God speed & RIP Vangelis. Your music will speak for itself. You were magnificent.
I agree 100%
Me too, he was my best friend since childhood. Means so much to me
göds pete and ämäsönnce kneiff vv
Vraiment !
The Earth just lost real genius.
Grew up with his music and all i can say is that Vangelis music enable me to understand how his music described places and different moments.
Vangelis was capable of picturing things with his music as his music would take you from Antarctica to Stars and further on.
Everytime i would play his music i would picture places his music was about.
Vangelis was God's gift to us humans and people who loved his music understood it.
May God give you a Harp so you can play melodies in heavenly realm where you always belonged.
Αραγε οαπλος λαος ο ευαισθητος κοσμος που δεν ειχε την δυνατοτητα να τον απολαυση και να γαληνεψει ηψυχη του ειχε την ενημερωση να ψαξει να τον ακουση.το υπ πολιτισμου θαπρεπε να επιμελειθει το θεμα ακομα και στις καφετεριες γιατι οχι
You are right some of his music are so great.
Vangelis' music gave me a sense of comfort and peace in my heart and mind.Each and every album sent a message to me to carry on w/life and avoid the negativity that surrounds me.R I P ,and GOD Speed!
R.I.P. Vangelis, you are a genius.
A composer of great universal music. Pure starlight that will forever shine on
Only one .......................VANGELIS👏👏 and thank you for giving me inspiration and wisdom thru you music . have a great journey .. my friend .RIP
Καλό ταξίδι τεράστιε Έλληνα. Η μουσική σου, θα μας ταξιδεύει αιώνια 🇬🇷💙
I have been a fan of Vangelis since 1975...When I first heard his music on "Cosmos"...I bought "Heaven and Hell" and I was hooked...for the next thirty years I collected ALL of his music...even some that I thought were mediocre (Beaubourg)...I now have all his albums, including his first two from the 60's...the last on I bought was "Juno to Jupiter"...his last album...My favorite? The album "Albedo 0.39"...hearing the ethereal tones of not just the title song, but of all of them..."Pulstar", "Freefall", and "Alpha"was magical...he gave me an appreciation of music that few can do...when I heard of his passing, I slumped into a dark place...I then listened to his album "Ignacio - Entends-Tu Les Chiens Aboyer" and it revived me...he is gone, but his music remains...
Pulstar from Albedo 0.39 was the first Vangelis piece I ever heard when it came out in 1975 and I've always loved it. A sad passing.
I'm gonna mis him. I wil always remember him when i lissen to his music, a great artist, a marvelous man. I wish he was stil alive
A remarkable man that made remarkable music I hope you found your way home.
His last interview was 11 years ago?! That shows how truly introverted he was. He never played for money or fame. I like to think his "To the Unknown Man" is about himself.
Los genios no necesitan fama, sólo los mediocres anhelan tal cosa. Coincido con tu comentario aerospace egineer 👍
@@rabarebra Geniuses don't need fame, only mediocre people crave such a thing. I agree with your comment aerospace egineer. 😌🇪🇦
So very true...
RIP VANGELIS.... proud for his kindness for his talents... Proud of him to be a good man and proud to be a Greek...but one country it's such a limit for him...his destiny is and was the UNIVERSE!!!
Vangelis' music is beautiful because he was allowed to be a free spirit. Most artists signed to a major label are dictated to as to how they want them to sound for commercial gain. If they rebel, they're dropped. Vangelis didn't fall foul of the industry and was nobody's puppet. He was a genius - RIP
cardi B my god 😭
Really appreciate being able to hear him define himself in his own terms. What a loss.
In a thousand years they will still be playing the music of Vangelis. Thankfully he left us a large body of work.
The legend and super brilliant music composer is gone. Sleep well, dear maestro.
RIP, such a loss to the world of music
Not going to find anyone like him. So complete and transitory.
RIP Vangelis. I discovered quality headphones and his music I 1985. Changed me forever.
He's always lived an etheric life. Of another space, another quality. In a beautiful 🌷 balance of life.

Sutch a amazing person, this is a big big loss ,thats another king of music that is gone, your music will be played forever ,i love the emotional songs you made this is why you where so a special person, all people schould listen to his music thats my opinion!! R.I.P. LOVE YOU FOREVER!!! ..From A Unkown Man.
RIP Great Master, wish you a great journey to the Music of the Spheres!!
Respect for a man who changed my youth sense of music along with Mike Oldfield. Will never forget Albedo 0.39 and 666.
666 is a prog masterpiece, the most underrated concept album of all time. Even some die-hard prog heads never understood its greatness.
Love the Blade Runner and Chariots of Fire soundtracks. RIP
Ο Θεός να σε αναπαύσει και να σε εντάξει στην αιώνια αρμονία του σύμπαντος... 🙏🙏🇬🇷
την ίδια αρμονία που τόσο ελεύθερα μοιραζόταν με όλους μας
Οι άνθρωποι που έχουν ενταχθεί, η έχουν ισορροπήσει στην αρμονία του Ενός εν ζωή,δεν την χάνουν όταν φεύγουν για το υπέρπέραν !Και ο Βαγγέλης είχε ήδη φτάσει εκεί ....!!!!!
@@magdalinitsioli9826 Συμφωνώ. Είμαι ευγνώμων στον Θεό που έστειλε τον Βαγγέλη να μας μεταδώσει αυτή την αρμονία για πολλά χρόνια. Ήταν μοναδικό στο είδος του.
UN GENIO!!
Vangelis, we miss you ♥️
I just got thru listening to my 'open reel
recording of "Voices"!
It sure sounds incredible w/ the recording
speed set @ 15 I P S !
It's so sad that sooner or later we have to die and we can not save those we care the most, his huge heritage raised Him immortal and fans could never forget him beyond human narrow body limits fans
This past months I was worry about this, and now it suddetly happened. I feel this loss so much. A hero that brought so much good vibes, positivism, exquisite feelings of greateness and contemplation, the champion of music.
Yeah, not gonna lie, but I felt the same way. I thought I was the only one feeling this way.
I'm so emotional 🥺 for him R.I.P rest in peace 🕊️ my legendary music vangelis
My favorite music Alexander - Eternal Vangelis 🤲🙏
You brought me so much joy with your amazing melodic music. You were here at the right time, and now you've just moved on. God bless you Vangelis and bon voyage....
Merci beaucoup VANGELIS, pour vos extraordinaires musiques. Et avec vous une époque musicale également extraordinaire s' en va. Merci beaucoup c' était fabuleux.

There are Gods living among us! Vangelis was one of them in music!
L'intelligenza, la bellezza e la spiritualità dell'arte e della cultura spaventa molti.
Vangelis un genio, pieno di vita che a saputo con rispetto interagire con gli altri.
Perdoni l'ignoranza, la superficialità e l'indifferenza.
Il suo nome è nel firmamento, la sua musica sia d'esempio per le future generazioni. Sia consolata la sua anima e il suo spirito Eternamente.
What precious words. May your soul keep it's light forever.
Thank you mister Vangelis for your music. There is no death. Only a change of Worlds. And some new music to here.
Vangelis was always an onging inspiration to me, my life, my art ... my spirituality. What a great, great loss. We love you, wherever you are!
RIP VANGELIS, we miss your sounds...
he will remain a musical genius

El puto amo de los sintetizadores, las leyendas no mueren, sólo brillan más en el cosmos. Feliz viaje Van. Descansa en otra dimensión. 🇪🇦💐
God and Christ be with you up there my friend. Best ever Greek music composer by miles.
He , I believe would now realise that everything here on earth is so inadequate
.............and RAPIDLY SPINNING into an
ABYSS of UNCERTAINTY!
Vangelis surname have a deep meaning:
It comes from the Greek name Αθανάσιος (Athanásios); it is based on αθανατος (athanatos), in turn from θανατος (thanatos, "death") combined with a privative alpha, and therefore means "immortal"
His music will Live Forever ♾
For me personally the best musicmaker in my life....!!! Like as Mozart and Beethoven ! Many emotions include Vangelis in my private Videos from Sport , also in holidayvideos ! Thank you greatful - efachristo - for your fantastic music ....!!! R.I.P.
Wherever you are Vangelis, I owe you so much thanks, your music was so emotional, fulfilling, and thought provoking. The world of music, without your own unique touch, would simply not have been as magical. May you rest in tranquil and forever blissful peace... Bravo, Sir.... bravo....👏👏👏 😎🇬🇧
Rest in peace. Thank you for sharing your genius
From palestin we loved u and alah mersy u ensha lah
I grew up on Vangelis. His music stirred every emotion in my soul. He created dreams through his magical visions. I have been influenced by him, musically my whole life. He will live on through his catalog of brilliance.....................RIP
I'll find my way home, conquest of paradise, maid of orleans waren mijn favouriete nummers van Vangelis waar ik ook een herinnering van een ander moment niet zal vergeten.
RIP 😭🙏❤️🌹❤️
RIP dear Master VANGELIS. Thanks for all your beautiful and wonderful music.
I am sure that all of Greece is mourning this wonderful man and musician. My kids grew up listening to his music and his album with Jon Anderson. Other than Michael Jackson I really did not listen to many other artists in the 80's. My condolences to his friends and family.
Hasta siempre mi querido Vangelis, que en paz descanses, tu obra perdurará eternamente, gracias muchísimas gracias, por tantas alegrías,conocimos un Dios con sintetizador.
R.I.P. Vangelis 🌹 thank you.👏👏👏👏

Mc25052022. Descanse en Paz Gran Compositor Maestro Vangelis. Vivira Inmortal en su Música.
Descanse en Paz, maestro y compositor de todos los tiempos. Hermosa música, como los Ángeles. Ya me imagino la música tan hermosa que va a componer en el cielo. Siempre será uno de mis favoritos.
I am blessed each time I experience a piece of music composed and performed by Vangelis. I wish I could have met him. I am blessed to experience his music.
Heaven must have the most beautiful music playing right now .....
R.I.P Vangelis
If anyone could catch timelessness, it was Vangelis....
Wow, he was a true artist. Never having to learn to read or write sheet music.... made such stirring and important art. He will be sorely missed.
❤️ Miláček můj. R.I.P.
A pro mě to byl poklad světového formátu. Když jsem ho viděl, ze všech stran obloženého klaviaturami ... A ta božská hudba ... 🍀💕👋 Měl jsem celou jeho produkci. Nejdřív na magnetofonových kazetách a později i na CD. V mém srdci i uších bude žít stále 🎹 🎼 ❤️ 🌹
Now you are free to create whatever you want Vangelis. You raised back to the Celestial HOME. Thank you for your walking this Earth and for your sacrifice on doing that.
He was such a genius. His music was like nothing else.
You touched our souls - no musician or composer could wish for more. The beauty you created will live on and on and on...
RIP Great One...we will miss u dearly but yr music lives on forever
Legends never die, they mature. A great loss. Grazie.
When I was 8-9 years old I got inspired by his music and I have learned to play on my own. This type of music kept me in balance through difficult times, and now 32 years later it still inspires me to continue to create. I did not know anything about Vangelis as a person, but now I know that he was a free spirit, that's why his music is timeless.
R.I.P Maestro !!! so sad....
another legend is gone... thank you for the music ❣❣
that interview is _not_ new - it was made around the time he made "the journey to ithaka" quite some years ago.
however - we lost one of the biggest musicians of the last 100 years. a proof that gods _can_ die. farewell, my hero.
10 years ago to be precise
When greatnesses comes you say listen and then it’s gone tears in rain if don’t listen it well be gone
The only person who made the pitch-bend not just cool but iconic!
I would have loved to have sat on a stool and watched this beast in his natural domain.
Bless you Sir... every track an epic. ❤️🎹
Vangelis was a piercingly handsome man! (and I say this as a straight guy) His music will forever be forever remembered; an absolute Greek national treasure! RIP, Vangelis!
