Love Theme From Spartacus

[GuguCapa]

Roberto se conosco questo brano è grazie a te..... Grazie di esistere, grazie di tutto. Spero che ti terrai libero fino a quando avrai 40, ora sn ancora troppo giovane per essere la tua compagna di vita, Ti amo. 

[84Ghostaff]

Capital D- "Mrs Manley" , A.G "Fuck the club"

[DaNiiHeeLL]

Muy buena música para mis oídos.

[SalMessina1]

Estasiato ringrazio! :)

[MarbewRecords]

Saviano solo tu puoi salvare questa italia, solo tu puoi darci il via... solo tu hai le chiavi per mettere in modo la macchina della positività

[Lillabi100]

Grazie a Saviano non solo per questo pezzo, ma per aver dimostrato che noi italiani non siamo tutti uguali come la macchina del fango ci vuol far credere...noi siamo differenti

[LadyMarziana]

GRAZIE ROBERTO SAVIANO PER QUESTO E ALTRO. SONO INNAMORATA DI TE

[diegodif]

Ringrazio Roberto Saviano per aver citato questo brano ed avermelo fatto conoscere! :-)

[Cc00kies]

Does anyone think that this is over dubbed? Can he really be playing all this at once? You need four hands to play this all at once, right? And..... Does anyone believe the change of tempo, or theme, that happens at 1:08 - is.... distracting from the pure melody of the main theme? Why did he speed up? It sounds like two different songs. both brilliant . . . .

[jaho101]

@Cc00kies the concept behind the album was him playing in three different takes at once and putting it together, i mean the album's even called conversations with myself

[Cc00kies]

@jaho101 Ohhhhhhhhhh... I get it. Thanks! But do you like the tempo change at 1:08 - you don't think it is distracting?

[clever072004]

@Cc00kies

Yes he can and did, remember it was pure talent back then not like now to b a music star...!

[CrazyEurazion]

@Cc00kies

I personally don't mind it, it takes you away from the main theme for a bit then brings you back again later in the piece.

[BibleJoker2Face]

does anybody have the complete soundtrack in mp3 format?

[antsorter]

i honestly dont give a shit how this is produced, its beautiful

also, sorry guys but i got sent here by the orb ;(

[Zuchtsau]

This Song shows the form of Love in all parts of Life.

First Love and first lost love. longing. second love ,bad thoughts ofloose your love.The way the world feels Great! seperation.

The thought and feeling of true Love 3:37

How it feels if you loose this love and how the world breaks in it self. 4:00

the knowledge that it won't get that good any more! 4:45

[sohooded]

One of the greatest jazz pianists of all time. So many have copied him.

[carlaaedo]

En la oficina, silla fria y fome. En un mundo que a veces parece caerse a pedazos. En el fondo de mi hay miles de cosas maravillosas. Afuera es donde parece estar la cagada a veces. Malditos desinformativos¡¡¡¡ Al fin escucho. Solo decir que la belleza entre por mis oidos casi todos los dias. Eso es bueno. Afuera no esta tan malo como a veces creo. Solo hay que escuchar mas musica y volar.

[ErictheJazzer]

There is also a wonderful Terry Callier version in Youtube featuring lyrics by Callier. I recommend that you listen to it. Also Maria Schneider's arrangemnt of this classic theme for the WDR Big Band in Youtube..

[lenzorg]

i recently watched spartacus and was amazed by the music. I knew the love song from somewhere, but couldn't quite figure out where I heard it before. Now I finally found where I knew the melody from. This is nothing less than a masterpiece interpretation. thx for the upload!

[armeniaforward]

it made me feel sorry that i have been a lil depressive recently... it made me feel i am in love again..

an incredible song... i can listen to it thousand times..

[Thedudeisadude]

yea it's overdubbed

The entire album, from which this piece is taken from, "Conversations with Myself" was overdubbed in many places.

[browny333]

bill evans is simply pure genius

[lowgrau]

It's a beautiful song

[8illmatic3]

this brings a tear to my eye

[image180]

Peace Dr. Shelley:

Knowing the original makes the first impression, and listening to other renditions that compliment the primary score. Personal preference and choice (with any musical genre) has a lot to do with individual taste, as much as it has to do with a basically well executed performance, which does a theme justice.

I'm no expert, or critic, but I believe that others feel and share some of the same sentiments when listening to certain selections.

[cachetes84]

Inspirador, motivador, conmovedor... Evans.

[image180]

I've heard the Ahmad Jamal version and it ranks up there... Some months ago I listened to the Yusef Lateef rendition and it's really over the top! It was so in tune with the visual aspect of the film's pathos and centralized love theme evoked between the main characters. The song is riveted in my memory from 40+ yrs. back, and I still find the original theme and the better popular renditions, emotionally charged, poetic, and beautiful!

[DrShellyLR]

I read your comment a while ago and its been bugging me everytime I listen to this song... I LOVE this version, and only stumbled across it a lil while prior to. But I heard the Lateef's version ages ago, which I also LOVE, and I have to say whilst comparing the two together I would think that Evans version is "really Over The Top" especially with the overdubbing. I agree with everything else you mentioned :-)...

[DrShellyLR]

oh and btw the way it being OTT surprisingly doesn't make me like it any less, just allows us to appreciate it in another way. x

[randomletters543]

bill evans- conversations with myself

[MatuArt]

piano 101.....greatness

[s3lan]

Which version is this? Such a beautiful tune, cant get enough with it~

[lovesmusik1]

this man is incredible. Such talent...

[abuskell]

it's bill evans overdubbing twice.

that or he has six arms.

sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.

[JackDragna1]

It must be overdubbing. It sounds like four hands playing. How can you tell that the mastering is terrible? It sounds like good quality to me.

[Bean357]

Yep, It has to be overdubbed. Just by the way it's panned to me is a sign...

[alhajem]

yusef lateef version still the best

[bigpaws]

I couldn't agree more.

[Turion10]

Have you tried the version by Quella Vecchia Locanda ? My favorite.

[Shazbut01]

Music doesn't get much better than this

[arkane1er]

one of my all time favorites, a truly beautiful adaptation. Bill Evans truly has brought tears to my eyes with recordings like these.

[BigFatCroco]

he's playin all alone.. he's my hero

[laudrupli]

so this recording is Bill Evans, and who is playing the other piano?

[Alexmg123]

hah.. So true.. bill is the best..

[ziogustav]

In this record Bill Evans play with 2 or 3 overdubbings

[GozTheGreat]

Yes. It's on "Conversations with myself" in 1963. A real masterpiece... even if the piano was sadly not perfectly tuned.

[UppinDisma]

Piano was fine, the mastering was horrible

[electroniclock]

good song

[am0ni]

i love evan's music. and it doesn't surprise me that sane intelligent people can be found here after reading complete nonsense for weeks. thanks

[SinoYank]

It's worth remembering that Evans performed this in 1963, a few years after the film "Spartacus" was released. I hope you younger folks realize that "the Sixties" was about a lot more than Woodstock, drugs, and the Vietnam War. I'd sure love to see creative outbursts like these happen again.

[sgcim]

Yes, between 1955-65, was a great creative period for jazz. But then you know what happened in 65--the Beetles arrived and jazz was marginalized. A lot of the creativity went toward rock between 1965-75--and then that got stale, increasingly relying on beat and sensationalism.

[SinoYank]

sgcim, that's true. I take your comments as a dig at jazz-rock or fusion, which thrived in 1965-75. Miles himself played a key role in this movement and I don't think it was all bad. There was energy and enthusiasm associated with jazz-rock, some was very good, and during that period rock music did truly thrive, as did other genres. Marginally related to music, film creativity was very high in the early to mid-1970's. Where is the American creativity now and what will it take to bring it back?

[arkane1er]

to be honest, i believe that Miles' pursuits in fusion were a sad attempt to remain in the limelight. he slowly progressed from a fantastic visionary to a sellout. it was truly a pity.

[SinoYank]

I think that Bitches Brew was an interesting experiment, but it's not exactly easy to listen to. I think it did spawn the careers of many others, including Chick Corea and Joe Zawinul. I like some of their later work, but I do agree with you about some of Miles' later efforts, such at his take on "Time After Time," for example. However, I did enjoy a concert he put on in the mid-1980s, which included both old stuff and new. It's not easy to stay constantly innovative, but Miles tried,usually.

[Jon00Wesley00Harding]

I think Joe's time with Cannonball was really what put him out there... Though he probably wouldn't have been in that situation were it not for the opportunities Miles gave Adderley.

I'm not a fan of the musicianship on Bitches Brew, frankly. It doesn't sound like anybody's really listening to each other, just blowing whenever there's an opening. But fusion after the fact has only gotten better. There's a Jimmy Herring album called "Lifehouse" out now with Greg Osby... It really rules

[Jubel06]

Well the fusion stuff goes either way. Still he was successful through his whole life. And always had vision.  You know he was most popular in the years before he passed away?

[anthrax1218]

I understand your point, but I'd have to disagree. Davis wasn't just a musician he was an artist. He needed to challenge himself with different mediums and different band members. He was asked once why he stopped playing ballads as much, and he responded, "Because I'm good at them." That sums up his later fusion music and his position on his art. He still had things to say, and they couldn't be said in Bebop, Free, or Modal jazz.

[sgcim]

That doesn't explain why Davis went back to his Gil Evans music right before he died

[immortaltechpt]

Look up for Nujabes - Final View.

He uses the same melody ;)

[BeNicePlz]

YES...My favourite song on the album which prompted me to come here.

[zebuloncyclone]

Quelle musique !!! Et quel film !

[otrebor16]

aaaah but this is not the original with violin of the movie!

[corblimeysue]

its heavenly angel beautiful

[Juniorgang009976]

Please , can someone give me the name of the original song , thank you in advance ...

[GozTheGreat]

Yes it's the name of the song (wrote by Alex North for Kubrick's movie "Spartacus"). This "3 pianos" (re-recording) cover come to the marvelous album "Conversation with myself" (Verve). Evans had recorded this tune another times : on an album with Jeremy Steig (Verve) and a solo version on a medley on "Solo session.1 " (Milestone).

[llaoll]

i have the version from "solo session vol.1" it´s a very intense rendering, i prefer that to this one

[GozTheGreat]

I love the 3 covers. The only problem with "conversation with myself" is that the piano is really badly tuned. I love also the covers of that tune by Yusef lateef, Maria Schneider, Terry Callier and french pianist Stephan Oliva.

[s2babyy]

so jazzy, love it

[Pacabelle]

I bet this is by Bill Evans's interpretation of Love Theme.

[EscapeArtistPatric]

It is :)

[ECG3485]

Anyone have the original version by Alex North from the movie soundtrack?

[irish89055]

the sob's took down Bill Evan's version huh? thanks Otaku for getting booted off here.

[ossademontiel]

maravilloso

[mmavidis1]

A gorgeous piece of music.

[dellforce]

Here's an "AH-HAA"!! for ya!

The chord progression in the "chorus" is the same one in Alicia Key's "If I Ain't Got You"!! Put her song on and you can hum This "Spartacus" melody over her chorus.

After all, the melody is basically a major triad melodically inverted: Root-5th-Major 3rd. The simple lines are TRULY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ones!!!!

[sunra79]

Check out the version by Yusef Lateef...hauntingly beautiful

[devilchicky]

magnifiqueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeee ça m'envoie au 7 ème ciel c beauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[zaranine]

waou i like this soundtrack a lot, the melody is outstanding...thanks

[irish89055]

love jazz, but this this is not one i'd of jazzed up.. the original please..

[lovesmusik1]

Bill Evans is a piano god

[GozTheGreat]

Great !! You would add as tagq "Bill Evans" ("Conversation with myself"). I love also the cover in an solo album (solo sessions. Vol. 1. Milestone) and on the one with Jeremy Steig (Verve).
