OPERA SAUVAGE

Personnel: Jon Anderson (harp). Recording information: Nemo STudios, London, England (1978-1979); Paris, France (1978-1979). Photographer: Veronique Skawinska. Arranger: Vangelis. This warm, lyrical album was derived from Vangelis's music for a French television series. Rich, electronic orchestrations range from grandly symphonic to simple and serene. Curiously enough, this title has experienced a major revival since the opening cut, "Hymne" was used for a Gallo Wine commercial. This 1979 release is an excellent introduction to his music. ~ Backroads Music/Heartbeats
