I heard this for the first time in the late 80's when I was about that age as well, eleven. Loved it and almost all of his music then. Especially the docklands concert that was on repeat on the VCR.
JMJ thank you for so much good music you gave to us without reward. May you live a long long healthy life full of happiness. This one in particular touches my soul and makes me feel like heaven.
Without reward, other than all the money from perpetual record sales and concerts of course. I think the old chap was suitably recompensed for his efforts.
Un morceau GENIAL mêlant musique traditionnelle chinoise et version personnelle de JMJ qui se marient à la perfection. Osmose, beauté et magie. On est embarqués sans violence et tellement zen après. Hyper émouvant. Bravo.
The same is true for me - absolutely! I was also born in 1970 and I was impressed by JMJ going to China. I learned about his music by my older brother and I still love this music.
Excellent ! ! ! J'imagine l'étonnement du public chinois...car c'était en 1981 ! Plus de 40 ans ! Cette mélodie est magnifique, elle a marqué son époque...
I am Jean Michel Jarre fan since 1980, I remember on my first Unitra Uvertura Stereo magnetophone Oxigen and Equinoxe, sounds like brain remedy, and soon after, the 3rd and the best (in my opinion), the great MAGNETIC FIELDS, was the only music for me in that days. Concerts in China was the synthesis of all and plus. Best regards to JMJ and Fans!
El Guangzou es el instrumento fundamental de esta maravillosa composición. Es una especie de arpa china que se toca apoyada en una mesa con púas metálicas en los dedos. Lo que no sé si el clarinete chino y otros instrumentos están sintetizados, pero por lo que veo en otros youtube videos, no he escuchado una mejor canción orquestal de este instrumento.
Gracias por la información. Un sonido sublime, no es una canción propia de Jean-Michel Jarre, pero hace un homenaje maravilloso a la música popular china.
Hermosa melodía oriental. sin conocer que instrumentos son utilizados la sola musica despierta los sentidos y comienzas a imaginarte viajando por el mundo asiático.
The scene is also perfect just like the music arrangement. It reminds me to my trip to China in 2011. One of the picts tells about the life in Guilin. Love it
Me too; fan since 1987! Zoolook was the album, after hearing that, I bought every album he released out of my pocket money! Although I listen to tons of music thesedays, I always return to Jarre every now and then.
Muito lindo. Ouvi há muito tempo atrás. Pensava que era autoria de Jean Michel Jarré, mas é uma muito antiga canção chinesa. E com essa simagens, maravilhoso, maravilhoso, maravilhosas !! De quem seriam as fotos ???
No sólo es una de las mejores composiciones de Jarre fuera de los grandes sintetizadores es que las imágenes que acompañan al tema son apropiadas y estimulantes. Una genialidad.
Que hermosa melodía.. desconozco los instrumentos orientales..pero no se porque motivos me atrae todo lo que guarda relacion con el Oriente...su cultura milenaria , su Arquitectura , sus Pagodas. Y su gente..
De verdad me gusta la música de Jarre muchas veces tan introspectiva como en esta melodia y tan moderna como en Chronologie 4, es diverso, es supermelodico y aquí nos regala grandes paisajes musicales de la tradición China.
dave474c You are probably looking for Souvenir de Chine - Jean Michel Jarre Jean Michel Jarre - Souvenirs De Chine It has the sound of clicking cameras.
It’s funny how two of the most influential electronic composers of our time were absolutely at their peak with China-themed albums. The other, a certain Mr. Vangelis Papathanassiou should need no introductions.
I think this music can be divided into five sections: The fishing boat sets sail, sunsets, storm and waves, tired but safe, and return to sail with a good harvest
A Chinese couple performed a version of this at the Southampton Mela on Saturday. It obviously translates slightly differently according to which Chinese dialect is used, as they called Fishing Junks In The Evening, but it was obviously the same piece.
I've listened to Jarre, Vangelis , Kitaro, Jon Anderson & Vangelis , Yes with Jon Anderson since I was a child in the early 1970's . I can still hear in my head "The Friends of Mr. Cairo" , Magnetic Fields, Silk Road, Starship troopers and more. I love it all, then and now. And Kraftwerk, one of the original masters. And correct me if I'm wrong, but does not the music around 03:21 sound like it is from the sound track of Ridley Scott's "BladeRunner"? Awesome, simply awesome. :-)
Why do you think they are alike? BladeRunner is after this, nobody is copy a sound track which nobody knows in China at that time. And this is not composed by Jaree, it exists as a traditional group music in before, Jaree makes it electronical.
It would be interesting to know how Jarre did THIS. Did Jarre listened one Chinese traditional too much? Or actually he made remix of something? Thats a total blend of 2 worlds -- chinese traditional and synthesizers.
Escuchen esta otra versión más extensa como fue hecha originalmente sin cortes como en la versión compactada del álbum doble distinta igual de bella ua-cam.com/video/NUZsWr-ffj8/v-deo.html
I have always wonder who was the person who played the chinese instrument , gu-chang in this piece. It was exceptionally qdone. It is a great honour if his name is revealed. Any idea of who this person is?
I have the old vynil of "The concerts in China", and in the credits appairs the person who plays the Zither (Guzheng). Mrs. Li Meng plays it as an artistic collaboration with the Peking Conservatoire Symphony Orquestra. I hope that answer could be useful for you. Best later than never...

As did I, can picture it in my mind, having been out there, this sound captures it
I was 12 then…. My heart always goes to JMJ
I heard this for the first time in the late 80's when I was about that age as well, eleven. Loved it and almost all of his music then. Especially the docklands concert that was on repeat on the VCR.
Best track of the china concerts.. absolutely love it :)
This is the music toy funeral day ...and then I am in the nxt space... waiting for this holy day! 💐🙏🏻💐
2:35 to 4:20 blows me away every time I listen to it and has done since the early 80's...great stuff!

What a bridge of melody

One of my dream songs, almost near the Paradise!

Scorpion leader
Absolutely... One of the most beautyful songs I ever hear it !!

@Greyson Forrest Flixportal :D

I simply adore this music. God bless Jean Michel Jarre.
Jean Michel jarre will never dies.
These musics will eternal.
what is it about certain tunes you never forget, they stay with you all your life... and i go back to after 40 years!... a total jem......
Un morceau GENIAL mêlant musique traditionnelle chinoise et version personnelle de JMJ qui se marient à la perfection. Osmose, beauté et magie. On est embarqués sans violence et tellement zen après. Hyper émouvant. Bravo.
I am fan of Jarre since child...1976.
Claudaky ,so do i , my older brother had the lp 's oxegene and eqinoxe.
when he play thise lp 's i always listened .
One of the most beautiful music-pieces ever composed..... thank you for sharing this wit this very beautiful pictures... :-)
Thankful to the first ape who decided to climb down from the tree. Today we can understand the power and beauty of music in a work like this.
Muchas gracias por compartir esta bella canción. Quedé fascinado la primera vez que la oí en 1982..
Hermosa melodía !! Yo también la escuche en esa época por influencia de mí hermano mayor
Using synthesizers and traditional chinese instruments he has perfectly captured the essence of China.
My personal feeling is that this is better than the original (traditional ) version.
Yes he has...but listen to the silk and bamboo orchestra version
Oh balderdash, it's perfect just the way it is; he really captures the spirit of China.
The same is true for me - absolutely! I was also born in 1970 and I was impressed by JMJ going to China. I learned about his music by my older brother and I still love this music.
Majestic!!!! Childhood memories right here
Excellent ! ! ! J'imagine l'étonnement du public chinois...car c'était en 1981 ! Plus de 40 ans ! Cette mélodie est magnifique, elle a marqué son époque...
à l'époque, j'étais très "en bas" le fait d'ecouter cette mélodie avec mon walkman m'a remontée le moral
Eu ouço esse trabalho do Jean Michel Jarre desde de quando foi lançado parece que foi ontem quem é bom nunca perde a essência
I love this tune it’s so beautiful and unique.
I have always been in love with this music ❤
Listened to this all night though Jarre Fan since 1987.
I love the entire track,,but at 3.10 it takes me to music heaven..❤
Best listened to through headphones in a darkened room and let yourself be drawn in ...
Imagine flying into China for a holiday and this was playing throughout the Arrivals...... It would set you up for your whole holiday!
I am Jean Michel Jarre fan since 1980, I remember on my first Unitra Uvertura Stereo magnetophone Oxigen and Equinoxe, sounds like brain remedy, and soon after, the 3rd and the best (in my opinion), the great MAGNETIC FIELDS, was the only music for me in that days.

Perhaps my fave Jarre composition of all time
simply beautiful music. I love it

Lo que no sé si el clarinete chino y otros instrumentos están sintetizados, pero por lo que veo en otros youtube videos, no he escuchado una mejor canción orquestal de este instrumento.
Jarré tiene varias piezas basadas en sus vivencias en China y respetan mucho el espíritu chino en gral.
Gracias por la información. Un sonido sublime, no es una canción propia de Jean-Michel Jarre, pero hace un homenaje maravilloso a la música popular china.
Great music, I had been a Jarre fan since 1986
This song went through my mind for a whole 2 weeks when I went to China the first time, 11 years ago!
Que suerte ..Poder viajar a China, estuve en Cambodia y Tailandia, siempre me ha gustado lo oriental...su cultura y su gente..
Hermosa melodía oriental. sin conocer que instrumentos son utilizados la sola musica despierta los sentidos y comienzas a imaginarte viajando por el mundo asiático.
This piece, and "Souvenir of China" are defining the whole album - honorable mention: "Arpeggiator"
I have always loved this since I very first heard it way back then lol
i just love this song!!!
i remember hearing it in the vhs of my baptism!!!!
Merci pour l'audio j'adore
The scene is also perfect just like the music arrangement. It reminds me to my trip to China in 2011. One of the picts tells about the life in Guilin. Love it
( 3:09 - 4:17 ) That part deserves to be the future anthem of China.
Me too; fan since 1987! Zoolook was the album, after hearing that, I bought every album he released out of my pocket money! Although I listen to tons of music thesedays, I always return to Jarre every now and then.
Lo más bello de música ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ un Gran Genio del teclado mi Jean Michel Jarre lo más extraoidinario
Jeez, what can I say after all those comments... Ever so humble, I admire the last 3 thousends of Chinese music amplified with the JMCG electronics.
6:06 - 7:15 W-O-W ! ! !
So so good u feel it when happens.
Synths parts, the best of Jarre's.
Beautiful ur work. Thanks from Chile.
Love this song ... reminds me a lot of Tomita in the parts with the big orch sounds. Great.

Que Musica Tan Preciosa !!!
No sólo es una de las mejores composiciones de Jarre fuera de los grandes sintetizadores es que las imágenes que acompañan al tema son apropiadas y estimulantes. Una genialidad.

Claudaky En el enlace viene toda la informacion. Espero que le sea util y a mi me encanta esta melodia. Un saludo

De verdad me gusta la música de Jarre muchas veces tan introspectiva como en esta melodia y tan moderna como en Chronologie 4, es diverso, es supermelodico y aquí nos regala grandes paisajes musicales de la tradición China.

I m inspiring in my asian part of soul...💥😍💥
Top notch!
Thank you very much for posting :)
i love it very much
i like j.m music he is realy a legend
pescando junkos al atardecer.......tema acompañado de la filarmonica de shangai, una melodia tradicional china. bravissimo.
Juncos de pesca al atardecer/Juncos pescando con la puesta de sol/Juncos que pescan al ocaso del sol (ó del día). Cualquiera de éstas tres es válida.
Se refiere a los juncos, embarcaciones tradicionales de china. Por lo que la traducción sería Juncos pescando al atardecer.
I think this music can be divided into five sections:
The fishing boat sets sail, sunsets, storm and waves, tired but safe, and return to sail with a good harvest
pfffff ! que dire ? ç'est magnifique !
非常美麗的音樂
min 2:33 is when magic starts.
Cool. Thanks. :)
master Jarre
Wunderbar !
AH tranquillity. ...
Juncos pescando al atardecer, los juncos son embarcaciónes tradicionales de china. Por cierto muy buena adaptación de éste tema por parte de Jarre.
Son extractos de varias piezas musicales y al unirlas pareciera ser la misma
A Chinese couple performed a version of this at the Southampton Mela on Saturday. It obviously translates slightly differently according to which Chinese dialect is used, as they called Fishing Junks In The Evening, but it was obviously the same piece.
I wish I had been there !!!
Se escucha demasiado bien para los años en que fue subido
where are we now with the sequel?
I've listened to Jarre, Vangelis , Kitaro, Jon Anderson & Vangelis , Yes with Jon Anderson since I was a child in the early 1970's . I can still hear in my head "The Friends of Mr. Cairo" , Magnetic Fields, Silk Road, Starship troopers and more. I love it all, then and now. And Kraftwerk, one of the original masters.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but does not the music around 03:21 sound like it is from the sound track of Ridley Scott's "BladeRunner"? Awesome, simply awesome. :-)
Studio dub ?
Why do you think they are alike? BladeRunner is after this, nobody is copy a sound track which nobody knows in China at that time. And this is not composed by Jaree, it exists as a traditional group music in before, Jaree makes it electronical.
Many of those photo in the video were taken from Hong Kong.
love him since I was young, 80ties, what is young, in eternity, gods? goddesses? ✨️🎏🕎
非常好
@pikuci right from the heart!!!!!! Me too!
'
Does anyone know or have a link to the Chinese junks at sunset track that has the sound of clicking cameras on it?
Did not the Chinese State broadcaster adopt this as their equivalent of BBC's 'Sailing By' soon afterwards?
In a form of a national call signal?
Chicken or egg?? Much of this melody was already centuries old and very much a a Chinese product
Sorry typo or age error Sunset not dawn..
Unitra... that was professional equipment at home!
It would be interesting to know how Jarre did THIS. Did Jarre listened one Chinese traditional too much? Or actually he made remix of something? Thats a total blend of 2 worlds -- chinese traditional and synthesizers.
I heard the Chinese version played on a little instrument by a student in China and it does sound the same...and better !!!
Escuchen esta otra versión más extensa como fue hecha originalmente sin cortes como en la versión compactada del álbum doble distinta igual de bella ua-cam.com/video/NUZsWr-ffj8/v-deo.html
Tuna Chunks at sunset.
naw wait for it ......The Arpegiator
I have always wonder who was the person who played the chinese instrument , gu-chang in this piece. It was exceptionally qdone. It is a great honour if his name is revealed. Any idea of who this person is?
danny lim what's it called? a gu-chang? It sounds similar to a koto.
+tall32guy Koto is Japanese. It should be a guzheng. Basically Guzheng is the origin of Koto.
Kyoko Yonemoto. maybe
I have the old vynil of "The concerts in China", and in the credits appairs the person who plays the Zither (Guzheng). Mrs. Li Meng plays it as an artistic collaboration with the Peking Conservatoire Symphony Orquestra. I hope that answer could be useful for you. Best later than never...
thank you x always late than never is good.
dave 474x...might you mean Souvenir of China?
When Mao died, and Deng Xiaoping got to power, this came to be(j)ing.
This would be *impossible* under Xi Kingpin.
