Gosh, the second from my list of heroes who suddenly pass... First Klaus Schulze (RIP) now him...
They were both from the same generation, but their respective cultures were certainly different. But the artistic richness of these guys!...

Both touched different domains, explored different areas, revealing this way how their talents are vast and varied... Can't believe they're no more present in this plan of existence!

What I admire the most in Vangelis: his incredible, intuitive genius for orchestrations!

He's a real, deep, "classical" composer, many of his works sound in my ears like symphonies, he was a real master in this field, I don't know any pop songwriter capable to magnify, beautify a "simple" melody to sound like a lyrical opera! His famous soundtrack for the film "1492: Conquest of Paradise" is a perfect illustration of this aspect of his talent:

Definitely one of the best choir orchestrations I ever heard, superb mix, super massive.

We shouldn't be sad, great artists never die, they remain immortal through their works.
This is probably why we are artists: the will to live forever beyond the expiration date of our body.
Vangelis is not dead
He just retired to a secret island in the Caribbean, along with Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald and Ennio Morricone

What you say is true. Yet I can't help, I feel sad, another legend I followed since child is gone.

In an interview Vangelis mentioned Debussy, and seeing pictures from Forminx he really resembles the french composer, he was probably a fan of him!
