WOW - YEAH - ich krieg mich nicht ein 😍 DAS waren noch Zeiten ... Irre, mit solch einem Instrument mit all seinen Knöpfen, Tasten etc. umgehen zu können. Vielen Dank für's Einstellen. Alles Gute 😀😀😀
What a beautiful instrument. It is amazing what they do with these keyboards and organs. My keyboard has a full orchestra also and other features on it but this one tops it all. The artists playing this piece is also brilliant
@@kathymateja4852 Yes definitly. She know perfectly the instrument and all the different music patches to be used. Brilliant (many practicing and rehearsals…)
@@cal1001970 I listened to Vangelis in the sixties with Demis Roussos in their band APHRODITE'S CHILD... and right through to his work with Jon Anderson of YES. Beautiful feelings from his music.
Beautiful. I had no idea such a magnificent instrument existed. Excellent performance of a wonderful piece of music. Many thanks for helping some good childhood memories resurface.
@BodyBeats242 Agreed. Most professional keyboards can range between 1,000-20,000 USD, some going up to 100,000. For only 40,000 EUR this is essentially multiple organs and a high end pc put into one.
@@nailman5949 But .. if it is shaped as an organ with three keyboards, why doesn't it have a pedal as well? That doesn't make much sense. You can play insane bass lines on a pedal, look up Barbara Dennerlein ...
it makes me cry. The song was sung at my wedding. That was overwhelming. Unfortunately my wife passed away after just 3 days. I still haven't gotten over it even though it's been 5 years. I've never loved anyone like she did. I normally can't listen to the song anymore, but I made an exception and everything came back.😪💔
If I hadn't watched the video I would have sworn this lovely masterpiece was performed by a whole orchestra and could never be done by one person but with your brilliant talent and this wonderful nextgen synthesizer you made it possible.
That is one of the features of a Wersi electronic Organ they even build into the design of each instrument voice, be wind or string that unique sound of wind or string vibration. I built a Wersi Helios for an old friend way back in 1980 and is still in use to this day. It gave me such an insight to the working of the organ itself complete with its 32 channel computer registration memory and auto accompaniment.
Vangelis WAS a whole orchestra... though he used alot of MIDI controllers to control all the synths he used... He couldn't read/write in the standard music notations... which meant he had others listening to it and try to transcribe what they heard...
Wow, i just happened to bump into this video & i was just amazed at how close it is to the great man's version. How this video's got 501 thumbs down at this time of posting? i know that Vangelis would be proud listening to this & you are a very talented person thank you for sharing.
Ganz beeindruckendes Video, perfekt gespielte Musik! Was Vangelis damals wohl gesagt hätte, wenn er solch ein gewaltig klingendes Instrument gehabt hätte?!👍
nicht nur haben, auch noch so bedienen können. Ich habe sowas noch nie gesehen, das ist ja quasi wie ein moderner Kampfet und hat mit einem Keyboard nichts mehr zu tun. Absoluter Wahnsinn wie er das Teil bedient.. Wenn man mal googelt und sieht das das Teil mal eben 40K € kostet.. einfach nur krass
I am 80 ans hâve had my spine fused into one rigid frame, 20 screws and a structure of titanium like a little EIFEL Tower in my body securing my nervous chord in place, and too many things have disappeared into the swamp of these pains and lost youth…lost little me lost in a world I never imagined could exist…so, i listened to this and a ran along the sea washing upon the beach, naked in the moonlight the wind blowing sand into my face and chest and legs and making me totally alive-just by listening to this one time I am transported to a magnificent moonlight beach in a wind like a storm but blowing vigor and hope and lovely love feelings, and transported into a realm like prayer answered, my angels come home and visit with me, and I think i am healed by this music!! How wonderful it is. And how much I loved it. I did not ever wish for it to end.
Holy crap i remember this being played as we went into assembly when we went into the big hall when i was about 6 years old, im 39 now and it still hits me, such an iconic piece of music.
I've always loved the Chariots of Fire sound track. Wish I could watch the movie again. My dad was a preacher, and he and my mom when I was a kid helped in the distribution of the film.
Amazing instrument, but what an amazing talent, this gave me chills and I want to watch the film all over again, an iconic piece by a seminal contemporary composer, and you my friend have done him justice, this is probably the best cover of Charriot's I have ever heard, completely evocative of that wonderful opening scene on the beach
This music gives me a peace of mind and I still love it and I just wanted you to know how much of this music has helped me through the death of my Uncle and I appreciate that very much and I thank you for the music and I will keep playing it over and over again ok???
Beautiful rendition. Bravo! I'm sure I'm not the only one here that remembers hearing the original as a child, on AM radio in the car. That is a gorgeous organ. I wouldn't have the foggiest idea of how to use it, but it seems organs have evolved quite a bit since my grandmothers' Lowreys. Quite silly of me to think that electric organs hadn't seen any technological updates over the years...
I try and try and try...I watch the hands, the movements and the amazing talent and obviously years of practise that go into producing a piece played like this! No idea how many times I have watched this video but I am mesmerised every time. Brilliant! There is so much co-ordination, almost beyond belief, genius deserves its praise.
Vielen Dank für die unglaublich schöne Darbietung von Covers, die mit einem sehr hohen Gefühl ausgewählt und aufgeführt werden! Danke, dass es dich gibt !!!
This song is often used in comedies for slow motion but listening to it like this reminds me that it's a powerful and uplifting song to be taken seriously.
A song would imply lyrics recorded together with music. This crafty piece of music has no lyrics and therefore it would be more accurate to call it either a tune or a melody
Uauuu!!! Sempre imaginei que fosse um orquestra inteira tocando essa musica mas, espera ai!! Tem uma orquestra inteira dentro desse aparelho? Que legal, parabéns!! Linda musica.
Kabisaaaaaaaa!!!!! My kinsman !!! Had to check it was not the London philharmonic orchestra, myself !!! I'm sure vangelis himself ,corked his own ears , to make sure it was not his own as well !!!! That is how close this was to the original as it gets !!! Whoever's orriginal it is ....!!! Rich .. round ....true !!! And from nowhere else other than Kenya ... again!! Where quality is noted and appreciated !!
Genau diese Version lief im Abspann in der letzten Krimifolge von „Der Alte“ mit Sigfried Lowitz. Damals 1986. 38 Jahre danach gesucht - heute endlich gefunden!🥰
Being an Organ player and now Tyros 3 player I must say I really enjoyed your awesome performance. I think it was Down right Brilliant. Thanks for sharing I have subbed now to your channel hope we can keep in touch. Kind Regards Patrick of Canada!
10 months on since my last comment and I am astounded to see that there have been no others since. I am listening again...and my appreciation is still more than I can describe. I hear the many different parts of the composition like I never thought I was capable of. Truly fantastic! Please keep doing what you are doing. There are not so many about as good as you. Very much appreciated and no doubt I will be back to listen again.
A...maaaaazzzzzing❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️I'm bowled over by the talent and expertise of the musician. It has always been a firm favourite of mine. Love this❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
If I have $2 Million, I definitely get this baby. The sounds depth is crazy. All we play is record ready without the need of Mixing, adding FX and paying expensive sound engineer. Just Master it and publish it.
Vangelis may have passed on, but his music never will. This is so beautiful
Verdade 😂😂❤😊
Amazing, I wouldn't even know where to find the on off switch.

That was wonderful! I don't know how I got here but always have a soft spot for this track and wow, what a machine, well played!
