VANGELIS:
-
Heaven
and Hell
(RCA
RS 10251).
As the title suggests, this is a serious and major work which allows the former musical cornerstone of Aphrodite's Child full freedom of expression. Using keys, voices and percussion to produce a grandiose full orchestral spectrum, Vangelis plys his themes above and below the lines of tear and joy.
One moment there is soaring beauty, the next chilling horror, and in between every degree of emotion. Sometimes it rocks, sometimes it sweeps along magestically, always it changes.
Jon Anderson's reading of one delicate song, is quite magical, and the overall effect is stunning. It's true: it gets, better with every play.

Συναυλία του Vangelis στο Royal Albert Hall
Παρουσίαση του “Heaven and Hell”
VANGELIS PAPATHANASSIOU
has a London recording studio tucked away in a 'back
street. But once penetrated it resembles a rather sumptious Greek-style harem.
His
rehearsals for the Royal Albert Hall staging of 'Heaven and Hell' seemed more
like an excuse for dozens of young ladies to wallow in the thick pile carpets,
all of them. It would appear, talking French.
This week,
the former member of Aphrodite’s Child, staged his hit album “Heaven and Hell”
with a cast of 160 – one of the biggest works to be held at the hall and
something on a par with Mahler’s choral symphony.
But Vangelis
maintains he's really a simple man and he exudes a nebulous philosophy that it
was supposed went out with the cosmic Sixties.
“It wasn't
planned to have 160 people. It just worked out that way", explains the
affable Greek: "I don't even know whether you can call it a monumental work,
because something can be monumental with just one person.”
Monumental or
not, “Heaven
And Hell” is
the first challenger to Mike Oldfield's powerful grip on the serious end of the
rock market.
Yet Vangelis
doesn’t even see it as rock or even serio-rock music, to him it’s just music.
He won’t even
commit himself to believing in the concept of heaven and hell. “Really I’m just
posing that idea, my hell could be someone else’s heaven.”
He doesn't
know what project he'll be doing next because he doesn't work that far in
advance. 'Heaven And Hell'
for instance, took about six months from the first idea to the finished album.
"If I
get an idea I'll carry it through, It's as easy as that", he adds.
No doubt the next album will be about another of society's fantasies because Vangelis is firmly against discipline for discipline's sake within society.
Or as someone
once remarked: "Yes it is hell these days, but they don't half play good
music."
