Mythodea
Album by Vangelis
Mythodea — Music for the NASA Mission: Mars Odyssey is a choral symphony[1] by Greek electronic composer and artist Vangelis. It premiered as a single concert in Athens, Greece, in [2] but a recording was only released in by Vangelis' then new record label Sony Classical, which also set up the NASA connection and promoted a new concert, this time with a worldwide audience.[3]

The CD, and later the DVD, achieved a number of sales accolades around the world.[4]
First concert:

The English translation was very Victorian: “Thou must leave thy lowly dwelling, The humble crib, the stable bare”, but I recall giggling at the line: ”Babe, all mortal babes excelling” (this was and I was an adolescent!). Little did I know that this pleasant Christmas carol was written by one of the most astonishing creative minds of all time, an innovator who almost single-handedly catapulted music into the Romantic era.
We were lucky in Scotland at that time, that Sir Alexander Gibson was a Berlioz fanatic, and many were the superb concerts he conducted with the SNO in the Usher Hall. Sir Alec had a particular flair for Berlioz’ music, and he often programmed his works into the orchestra’s schedule. He conducted the first professional performances in Scotland of Berlioz’ great masterpiece ‘Les Troyens’ (The Trojans) with Scottish Opera in to celebr
