Enchanted Chrysalis

Musician and composer Vangelis -- whose work bridges the gap between electronic music, new age, and contemporary classical -- wrote a cycle of new pieces to commemorate NASA's 2001 unmanned mission to the planet Mars. Vangelis: Mythodea -- Music for the NASA Mission, 2001 Mars Odyssey features Vangelis premiering this work in a special concert at the historic Temple of Zeus in Athens, Greece. Accompanying Vangelis and his ensemble are the London Metropolitan Orchestra (under the direction of Blake Neely), the Choir of the National Opera of Greece, and vocalists Kathleen Battle and Jessye Norman. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
