- From the Ravel album. The complete song. Over four years ago, I posted this song but had to split it into two parts because of RUclips's time restrictions. Now, it is possible to post it in its entirety for our listening pleasure.
From the Ravel album (1979).

Tomita, this remains me...a time when i was young and madly in love..a time for closing thé curtain and listening..i am now 66 years young and everything is changed. Thanks there is still music. Greetings from Antwerp, Belgium
Thanks for listening and greetings from the USA
I love "66 years young" LOL
Hi Karin, I almost cried reading your post. I have a Very Similar Connection with this piece. It was actually Tomita who introduced me to Debussy and Stravinsky believe it or not. In Pennsylvania, where I was raised we did have a fairly strong music culture, although because it was founded by Germans and was thoroughly Lutheran most of the music we were exposed to, at least the High Brow Classical repertoire was largely Bach and Handel (and other things derived from that lineage). It’s a very complicated story and Im not writing my biography here. Suffice to say there was NO FRENCH MUSIC and very little Itallian either. There was a smattering of Russian music that came our way, but only things like Rimsky-Korsakov or Glinka. Some Tchaikovsky I guess. That was good. But I Certainly I had NO EXPOSURE TO STRAVINSKY OR PROKOFIEV, nor to Bartok nor as I said ANY DEBUSSY, RAVEL, nor Berlioz nor Saint-Saëns. And Certainly no Erik Satie. There are of course many other composers I could name but that’s not the point here..
It was only when I moved away to The City that I discovered the Music of the Heart. It was actually an orchestral reading of Daphnis et Chloë (by whom I don’t remember) that we played Over and Over the first night I spent with my future wife…. But my first hearing of the Children’s Corner Suite, Snowflakes are Dancing, The Girl w the Flaxen Hair, Passapied, et al was ALL courtesy of Tomita. And believe it or not, the same with The Firebird. Yes, I discovered STRAVINSKY through listening to Tomita. I guess it would’ve been a life-changing experience either/any way so in a way it doesn’t matter that much. The Rite of Spring really blew holes in my head…. I listened to that piece again recently after many years. It was within a Made for TV movie about the whole elaborate evolution of that ballet called Riot at The Rite, (it’s on RUclips, check it out. It’s well worth it.) which focused as much on Nijinsky and the impressario Diaghilev and even including Nicholas Roerich as on Stravinsky, (strangely 4 names all immortalized by that Unprecedented Artistic Event). Seeing that movie just last year after Decades of Living With Stravinsky’s work filled in some glaring gaps in my understanding of the history of The Arts in Paris, especially as La Belle Epoque exploded into The Great War and the concomitant Dadaist Movement. In truth The Rite of Spring was just the opening volley in that Violent Destruction of Everything that came before it, in Dance, in Stagecraft, and Especially in terms of Music. In a way, no one even Knew before The Rite how much of a Leading Role the subtleties of modern music then being born were going to have from this point forward; especially as regards Stravinsky’s new and unprecedented use of multiple time signatures, sometimes each evolving a separate “Story Line”, the one contradicting the other. And this was/is used to such great dramatic effect also with his use of dynamically shifting Key Signatures as well. The score of The Rite of Spring was UTTERLY WITHOUT PEER at the time of its premier. It’s no surprise that it would’ve sparked a Riot. The only piece that eventually stood up to The Rite was Messiaen’s La Quatuor pour la Fin de Temps, given its Premier in a POW camp in 1943.
Sorry if I went off track a little bit. You made me think of several things. And I didn’t even talk about Ravel.
Oh, and I’m 65 years young…
i would listen to this one and the whole album back in 1979, when my parents had gone out. turn all the lights out, chill and feel all the emotion, which inspired me to buy synths/mellotron etc....and produce similar music inspired by tomita, such awesome interpretations for sure.
I grew up listening to this and it brings back a flood of memories! The good kind of memories
I think 🤔 I had the Danphid and Clophe album at one time?On my day”s off from work,I”d listen to this album.Or,on holiday”s,I think?For a stressful world 🌎 that we have now-a-day”s,this cut”s the stress” in half!A good 👍 album to listen to here!It”s perfect 👍 for a summer afternoon!❤❤❤❤❤I love it!
I am now 56 but have loved this album since i bought it as a teenager from Boots in Worthing! Honest truth? I bought it because i loved the mesmerising picture on the cover and i knew it was electronic music, but i had no idea what i was going to be listening to, and that's the truth. It was in the heady days when i so loved David Sylvian, Riuichi Sakamoto, etc, and i just hoped i would like it with my hard earned quid's. I love it as much today as i did in 1981.
Thanks for sharing!
Stumbled across this in my RUclips recommendations, I REALLY like this! Its really cool to see electronic music that is this old.
Looking back from now this album was the apex of his career. You cannot keep working with that level of intensity for too long, involving hundreds of hours in his labo. RIP Isao Tomita You were the one and only.
Agree. Thanks
Conheci o universo sonoro de Isao Tomita em 1974!!! Desde então comecei a adquirir alguns Lps de Tomita o rei dos sintetizadores!!! Deus o tenha em ótima morada!!! Isao Tomita cumpriu com bastante desenvoltura a sua missão na terra!!! Descanse em paz!!! 💗💙💜
Tomita was the godfather of electronic music and must never be forgotten.
Tomita and Ravel. The perfect musical match. The finale literally leaves you breathless.
Wauw, it was Christmas, snowing outside and then we had this album from Isao Tomita.. so beautiful
Tomita's music has been such a big influence on my life, since the first time I heard "Snowflakes are Dancing" back in 1975. This is just as marvellous.
That opening is crazy to me. The feeling is hard to describe, but its like if you woke up from a 10 year coma. You see a world teeming with life, and yet you feel lifeless and weightless.
I love this rendition! I have the original album this is found on, which I purchased when it came out in 1979. I am a huge fan of Tomita, and have been since I first heard his "Snowflakes are Dancing" album of Debussy music in the mid-70's. Isao Tomita was a master of electronic music!
Snowflakes are dancing was my first Tomita cd, I'm playing it as I type. My favourite has to be The planets, but Daphnis and Chloe has a piece in it that really hits home.
No he was a Genius he makes electronic music real
Have also the original CD. Timeless. You are in another world listening to this..
もしかしたらラヴェルはこのような音を望んでいたのではないかとすら思えてしまう!
クラオタの私は高校生時代にドハマりし、当事冨田さんのアルバムは全部揃えていました。
ラヴェル好きの私が一番好きなアルバムです。
zmov1様 ♥️マークありがとうございます！
かのストラヴィンスキーはラヴェルの音楽に対し「スイスの時計師の仕事だ」と評しています。
ラヴェルの計算された精密な音作りは冨田氏のコンピューターサウンドに合っていたのではないでしょうか。
私個人としては、ラヴェルの最高傑作と思っている「スペイン狂詩曲」を冨田氏にアレンジして頂きたかったと思っています。😊
私も冨田勲さんのアルバムの中でこれが一番好きです。
サブスクではこれとドーン・コーラスが何故か無いので、手持ちのカセットテープを大事にしています😊
Thank you Isao ! Thank you Ravel!
This is my predilected ravel work. That man named Isao: my respect.
As we hear, it is not just put synthezisers into these amazing works. He had vision.
I have been trying to find this on CD for ages. I have it on tape but no-one seems to stock the CD. I'm so pleased to see it on here. I have most of Tomita's other recordings, The planets are a favourite.
@@richardwatts6361 theres another guy in this comment section with the cd maybe you could buy it off him
@@richardwatts6361 Same, Richard. I dread the day the cassette final gives up & breaks!
Chris, you can find anything at 'discogs' worldwide. Here is a sample for this song: www.discogs.com/master/212352-Tomita-Daphnis-Et-Chlo%C3%A9
Well Done. zmov 1 for your efforts!
A masterpiece REVEL one of his best works and DEBUSSY SNOWFLAKES are DANCING will make you CRY the man was a GENIUS
HI from 2021!
7:08 It's so sparkly!! Gives me goosebumps every time.
Ravel habría aplaudido esta maravillosa concepción electrónica de su hermosa música ¡Tomita, por siempre y para siempre!
Magical!!
I heard this piece first time in radio when I was 12 years old. Next day I bought the album in local music store. Since those days I've been some kind of synthesist, living by making electronic music - or at least having it as my dear hobby.
It eventually led me to find Italo Disco. Now that is electronic dance music to the max. My dear love at now, age 75, lol.
me too! been making music influenced by all this since 1983.
It is dope! =) happy to know about him and his music ...I started with The Planets. magical and deep nights those!
Thanks for posting. Brings back old memories.
such an epic piece of music
Was this another album from;1979?Wow!This is fantastic!I was in my last year of High School that year.Tomita was a great musician 🧑🎤 and synthesizer player!And,he live’s on in this lovely 🥰 album!
Yes it was. He was truly quite amazing. Thanks for stopping by. :-)
Fabulously dreamlike ............... *
Omg, the birds. This makes me cry. ❤
Make cry too
So eclectic and whimsical. Thanks zmov1 for putting this up.
Apparent whim based on a mountain of elaborate calculations.
Tomita was the creator of the parallel wold of music.
Tomita had a rare and amazing gift. May his memory last forever.
@@zmov1 Ravel was the gifted one
His lever du jour is amazing. I always wanted to do something similar
absolutely badass album cover
이런 음악을 추구하는 올갠 연주자들이 없네..없어....환상적이고 서정적이고 우주적인 멜로디가 많이 없네...내가하면 잘 할텐데....
I'm willing to bet the composer for Metroid NES took heavy inspiration from the beginning!!!
...legend has it that this plays in the nudist colony corner of heaven...
LOL!
nice
Sorry I messed up this comment. Feel free to redo it if you like: マークありがとうございます！

can anyone tell what the grass spells out on the bottom? looks like it says 'to rie and masahan' to me
It might be “To Pier and Masaharu”
Pier is a title (like Pier Passolini) and I was looking up Masaharu on google to see if the name correlated to Tomita (no luck).
Dilla was here
