Chariots Of Fire

Vangelis

Electronic instrumentation in 1981 permitted this original synthesis of grand movements and modern textures. The recording maintains a filmic presence that feels both intimate and monumental, marking the standard for movie music in the early eighties.

The work centers on deliberate keyboard movements that replace standard orchestral arrangements. It presents a forward thinking approach to motion picture music that remains tied to the visual language of the film it serves.
