VANGELIS, MYTHODEA, D.V.D. by Penny Kondea (ATHENS, GREECE)  5 Stars
June 12, 2009
WORDS ARE NOT ENOUGH TO EXPRESS THE STUNNING EXPERIENCE OF SIGHT AND SOUND OF VANGELIS' PERFORMANCE UNDER THE ACROPOLIS, AT HEROD ATTICUS THEATRE ( A 2000 YEAR OLD STONE THEATRE), WHERE VANGELIS' DIVINE MUSIC PERFORMED BY THE LONDON ROYAL CONCERT PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA, ACCOMPANIED BY A MARVELLOUS GREEK CHORUS, FOUND THE IDEAL PLACE TO BE PERFORMED. SIMPLY A MASTERPIECE!!

Greek Themed Soundscape by Rebecca Johnson (Washington State) 5 Stars
November 15, 2006
Mythodea is still a captivating escape years later because it embodies an element of universal awe and soul shivering ecstasy that is enhanced in an outdoor live concert setting. Images fade in an out of a mazarine background pinpricked with stars and seem to enhance the music, although most of the images are statues.
The entire concert is spellbinding in its heights, although it feels ominous at times in the depths of thunderous revelations. Throughout the first few movements there is a sense of anticipation and then the fascinating world-renowned sopranos, Kathleen Battle and Jessye Norman bring in an element of emotional complexity.
The Ancient open-air setting at Athen's Temple of Zeus, a 120-member chorus and Vangelis on electronic keyboards makes this an experience that goes beyond a concert and takes your soul to new heights.

I was spellbound by Sylvia Fischer (Kitchener, ON Canada) 5 Stars
August 08, 2006
The first time I saw this work on television 2001, I was spellbound. The music and visual effects were "out of this world". I literally could not get up from my chair although I had another pressing engagement. I felt I had found "my kind of music". The combination of the beautifully powerful, haunting music, the visual of the drummers, the costumes of the choir and the images refected on the backdrop of ancient Greek artifacts, and images of the NASA mission to Mars all in the setting of the ancient temple of Zeus filled my senses. As soon as the program ended, I went on line to find out more about the composer and this work in particular. Today it remains my favoutite musical DVD.

Overwhelming! by Gary Murphy 5 Stars
February 17, 2006
Vangelis (Chariots of Fire & Bladerunner) truly composed a magnificent work. Kathleen Battle and Jessye Norman as the sopranos are nothing less than superior and dynamic in their performances. Blake Neely as the orchestrator and conductor of the London Metropolitan Orchestra deserves major credit for putting it all together so beautifully. This is a must see for anyone who enjoys any type of quality music.

| Mythodea: Music for the NASA Mission: 2001 Mars Odyssey
by Vangelis
An avatar of orchestral synthesis for 30 years, Vangelis has only now made his full orchestral outing with the ambitious and epic Mythodea. Currently linked as theme music for NASA's Mission to Mars program, Mythodea dates back to 1993, when Vangelis premiered the work in a live performance. After the amorphous synthesizer opening, Vangelis is little-heard, using his keyboards only to support the large orchestra, 100-voice mixed choir, massed timpani, and the twin soprano leads of Kathleen...
