Silent Portraits - Music by Vangelis - Movement 1 (1984)

[omissis75]

I'm living troubled times at the moment, this small melody gives me some relief.

Vangelis, I owe you one

This is the unique and magical sound of Yamaha CP-80, electro-acoustic piano. I just love it... so beautiful. And we shouldn't forget it's also Boss CE-1 Chorus making such wide stereo sound of that piano.

It is a privilege to be contemporary of this insuperable Master

Even though I have everything I could want, even though I make alot of money, even though I have a loving girlfriend and a happy home. Even though... still there is this lonely person who never healed from the loss of 3 children in divorce. And there is always Vangelis who can rip the emotions right out of me. This lonely music calling my spirit to be a better human while I am here. And I still pray. It doesn't matter what people think. I will always pray.

@Eventual422 beautiful words ... you are absolutely right .. Vangelis is a monster who can play the most delicate fibers of the heart .. and lop more impressive is that the language makes it more beautiful human being ... music

[Eventual422]

Hi everyone. This is a good one isn't it? I just watched the recent debate on creationism/evolution and have to add something here. If there is NO spirit then what is happening to me when I listen to Vangelis? I am overwhelmed with emotion. I feel lonely and fragile. I cry ALOT! I have to wonder what gift was given to Vangelis, HOW does he touch my spirit? He has a supreme talent, heavenly. He speaks to my soul with sounds. Telepathically? My cat hears this music and comes running.

@Eventual422

I understand you a lot. I have no religion, but Vangelis' music brings tears to my eyes and raises my "spirit".

AMEN

[BiohazardPhilosopher]

Great, amazing .. so peaceful, so nostalgic

Vangelis is superbe, but why? why cant he release those pieces T_T

[omissis75]

Can't stop listening to it, this one gives me peacefulness....hope that Vangelis will think about releasing his hidden recordings again...

[Atolis2008]

I`ve information, that this is a short work by VANGELIS, only 20 minutes and two movements, simply.... :)

[paulatreides1]

yes, you are right ...

[andotapioso]

With all the love of the universe ¿where did you get this clear an good copy of this audio? it's such an a extreme beautiful work of art nature and almost impossible to find in this world ¿do you have the original LP?

[paulatreides1]

@andotapioso I dont have original, I'm not such lucky man :-)

I found somewhere on net WAV files (so full quality).

[AnalogyGuy]

@paulatreides1 In fact it's the same lossy mp3 as you can find it all over internet. Someone just converted mp3 into wav which can't bring the quality back... once lossy, it's always lossy... abd I'm still trying to find different recording with better quality than this.

[ledaddyswing]

Wistful, humane, gorgeous in its simplicity.

[omissis75]

Simple, yet magical. Enough said, viva Vangelis

[5735740]

its so amazing this melody... only vangelis do it

[joncosm]

@5735740
