    Chariots of Fire is the award-winning opening titles soundtrack from the movie of the same name. The sequence of the students running on the beach has made movie history! The soundtrack was composed in 1981 by Vangelis, it has been used ever since to celebrate sport moments. Mr Bean's version at the opening of the 2012 London Olympic Games is quite popular ;-)

      @@simonvavra6608 It's not expensive. US$9.99 + $2.00 for a PDF. You must have the free app to use the interactive version. I just bought it. I'm only learning piano now, but Francesco inspires me, so I decided to get his arrangment as a goal to work toward. Someday, I will be good enough to play his arrangement, but not as well as he plays. I just love listening to him.

      While I appreciate your tutorial videos, even on slow playback I have a hard time figuring fingering for those left hand arpeggios. I don’t know if you do your own engraving, but if you’d consider putting a few fingering suggestions on the hardest runs in your music I’d be even happier to buy it and learn it.

    Absolutely brilliant, I have never heard Chariots of Fire played on a piano before ,and I enjoyed it so much so I played it through twice. I think he used every key on the piano. Well Done and thank you

    you are just amazing. Thank you for playing Vangelis Papathanasiou piece and mostly for..rocking it. As a Greek feel proud hearing it played so beautifully. Greetings from Greece.
    Stay healthy and keep on your amazing playing.
