Rest in peace Vangelis. :'( You inspired generations of artists around the world with your incredible music.

Agent 47 is narrating Blade Runner for me, this is surreal

R.I.P. Rutger Hauer :( . His improvisation at the end of the movie was excellent to feel the movies's meaning.

[grahamekellermeier]

One of the best sound tracks ever by the great Vangelist.

"All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die". AWESOME!!!!

I would love to visit a concert like this. They don't just play the music, but reenact the atmosphere of a movie. Brilliant!

Maybe the most beautiful music in a sci-fi movie. My wife passed last December. It was one of her favorites. We don’t know how much time we have.

8:19. Batty: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.

This movie came out way before its time... 38 years later and the music still sounds as beautiful as it did in 1982.

[Sennesation]

That single saxophone though. Utterly beautiful.

Anyone else have a tonne of goosebumps?

[brucedugdale]

I named my son (now 20) Vangelis. He is a firefighter and rides a Chariot of Fire for real.

[duggiechester]

Danish National Symphony Orchestra simply the best! I remain astounded every time I listen.

[AaronEllisOfficial]

Absolutely love how they did the rain sound fx live instead of using a recording

[alisinc]

I was at the premiere of Blade Runner at the Edinburgh Festival in 1982. I was captivated then and I still am with the film and the music. This orchestra is truly sublime.

[vidarvaggen]

This is one of the coolest, most emotional and most beautiful musical performances I’ve ever seen. Thanks to the musicians, the choir and the actor. Well done, you lovely crazy danes.

„All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain“

[EareelOfficial]

Does the rain sound come only from crumpling paper?
I wouldn’t notice until I saw it. Brilliant practical effects.

[melaniamonicacraciun]

RIP the most spectacular composer of our times, Maestro Vangelis unforgettable, fans are invited to bring a tribute, get together and enjoy such visionary soundtracks, heavenly delight fans

[CyberBeep_kenshi]

All these people were born to play, sing, talk and crumble paper.

Such a joy to watch and listen to.
