:''Not to be confused with El Greco Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, a 2007 album also by Vangelis'' ''El Greco'' is a 1998 classical album by Greek electronic composer and artist Vangelis (born March 29, 1943). The title is a reference to the man who inspired the composition, Δομήνικος Θεοτοκόπουλος (Dominikos Theotokópoulos, 1541–1614), the Cretan-born painter and sculptor better known as El Greco. It consists of ten long movements performed on electronic instruments. ==Overview== This album is an expansion of an earlier album by Vangelis, ''Foros Timis Ston Greco''. That album had been released in 1995, in a limited edition. For this general release, the track order was rearranged, three new tracks were added, and the album title was changed. Vangelis composed and arranged the album, and performed all the instruments, accompanied by a choir conducted by Ivan Cassar. The music is in a Byzantine style yet sounding contemporary due to his use of synthesizers. Soprano Montserrat Caballé and tenor Konstantinos Paliatsaras make guest appearances on one movement each. The album reached #66 in France and #74 in Germany.〔( Lescharts.Com - Vangelis - El Greco )〕 The image on the album is ''"The Knight with His Hand on His Breast"'' by El Greco.〔(Nobleman with his Hand on his Chest ), ''Web Gallery of Art''.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「El Greco (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
