There are rarely things that really blow me away. But this is just great, big compliments to all who participated. Respect! Greetings Jerome Froese

[@nutster9000]

Great to see your comment on here Jerome, this is pure magic.

[@thomasrydell]

Thank you kindly mr Froese! I'm very glad that the video found its way to you!

[@johnbeagley1195]

fantastic someone from the family heard this. I hope Christoph and Johannes hear it too. Those kids did you all proud!

[@ulfljung4630]

The same with me when I heard Tangerine Dream early 80's!

[@adrianhendy]

A brilliant interpretation. Holá Jerome!

[@thedarkknight1971]

- Being an avid fan or the greats, JMJ, Tangerine Dream, Vangellis, Mike Oldfield and so on and so forth.... - And that i'm playing this through a quality, spacial and well set up HiFi - er, setup. lol. - I came from another fine, no, DAMN fine version of this (a beautiful rendition of Love On A Real Train blended this Poland Pt1)... Link Below.. Now... Two things, 1 - I saw the thumbnail, and thought "Ok, this might be interesting"... 🤔🤔, "Go on then, lets try this..." As the music started, seconds turned to minutes, my concentration turned from straight faced listening, one of having a smile grow like a flippin Cheshire cat...! THEN my thoughts were.... "Yep..... Oh yeah!..... Hell to the yes yeah!....". To: Each and every one of you on and behind this video, who put time into this acoustic rendition.... Bravo... Beeeeeutifully done! (I WILL be coming back for more listening pleasure time and time again I can assure you!). I would not be surprised if the late Edgar himself wherever he may be, looked down and was happy at the care and respect you have shown in this rendition, (may he rest in peace enjoying the fact that fans/followers of old and new, are enjoying his (and his colleagues) combined genius). & 2 - (IN NO WAY am I even attempting to detract from these talented, hard working and skilled folks in this video. I am simply trying to share what other beauties I have encountered for others to enjoy, drift away, relax, or whatever to...) Please, spare some time - 12minutes - by checking out this guy Simon Prince, who took his time (thankfully) to create the sound as near as dammit to TD's. He utilised two of the most beautiful pieces TD did (LOART and Poland Pt1), and combined them oh, so, faithfully and sublimely.... This personalised tribute to TD and Edgar & co, seriously requires some good (NOT bass heavy - but balanced) headphones, or a well set up stereo, trust me.... You will not regret it, as your TD loving ears will thank you. If you DO take up this offer of aural joy, please, tell him I sent you, link him to this fantastic video too, and give him some much deserved love. Because if the following linked video is an example of what he can do, then Lord knows what he is capable of with other stunning pieces of music, and I personally, just like an impatient kid, can't wait... 😁 Take care, and all the very best to you and your loved ones (especially in these trying and troubling times) - Oct 2021 Paul 🦇😎🇬🇧 PS... If you would like to add to/increase on your favourites list of fine originals/modern variants of/new creations/etc to feed the mind/body and soul, after all, what do they say 'Music being the ........', then feel free to let me know, and maybe, you too can enjoy more 'eargasmic joyous' pieces like this you may not be aware of is out there.... 🤗 kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4Hdp5R-jLyroMU

[@idj20]

That is extremely well done, totally faithful to the original live concert version. I'm sure Edgar is looking down from his cosmic address in pride.

[@nelsonsoucasaux2751]

I hope and believe he is !

[@DrBecoke]

Absolutely remarkable! Great arrangement, and great playing. Symphonic covers of "pop" music usually don't quite work but this one is an exception. Keep up the good work, and long live Swedish-Polish-German friendship. Greetings from Hungary ;-)

[@robstammers7149]

Brilliant, as a vintage TD fan, I'm nearly 70 years old, and TD have played a massive part in my life. I'm really loving these acoustic versions of their classic tracks. Regards Rob.

[@parkmedia]

Thank You Mr. Teacher +students, great job! For those criticizing synthesizer music this is a proof how complex and valuable this composition is even if played on convencional instruments.

[@karlhoward2737]

Just think in 200 years time, the likes of Tangerine Dream will be heard the way we hear Mozart now, music in all genres is special with no boundaries or prejudices…..wonderful example here…well done talented young folk

[@MarioVAmaya]

Yeah, most of TD's music has big brains under a deceptive surface. For example, on the ending part of Horizon we have a development of a track from The Soldier soundtrack, later reworked as Ayers Majestic. It features a manic ostinato bass, frantic military drums, displaced polyrhythms and completely clashing chords, creating the most perfect ever sonic portrait of Reagan-era Cold War paranoia. A lifelong dream of mine is to try a cover of this complex work. Not necessarily acoustic...

[@Totenkopfzwerg]

This is literally beyond words. "Without the music of Tangerine Dream, life would be a mistake.", indeed!

[@nelsonsoucasaux2751]

Wow... As a 70 years old TD fan - and also guitarist, though late in life... -, who knew the band too early with Phaedra in 1974, when I was still 24 ( ! ), I'm deeply emotioned by listening to and watching your awesome acoustic transcription and performance of this highly intricate eletronic piece from 1983. And the great tribute you are paying to the geniuses who created this piece, the late Edgar Froese ( we miss him very much... ), Joahannes Schmoelling and Chris Franke. Tears of emotion are dropping from my eyes while I listen to you superb work. I feel very glad that very young musicians, many of them I believe were not even born in 1983, are truly loving Tangerine Dream's legacy and creating new versions of their music. Thank you VERY, VERY MUCH ! One thousand congratulations ( from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil ) !

[@gerdschoppenhorst1154]

... I have now regained my belief in a bright future ...

[@beekay5914]

I hope Johannes and Christophe will hear this, they would be so proud. Too bad Edgar didn't get to hear it! I am amazed and delighted, myself, with this lovely and respectful performance. I hope they will all go out and explore more T Dream, for themselves.

[@kazimierzdymek265]

Dobry wieczór. Pięknie zagraliście ten utwór !!! Jestem fanem Tangerine Dream od 40 lat i byłem na tym koncercie we Wrocławiu {PL}. Pan Edgar Froese, Franke i Schmoelling byliby z Was dumni. Dziękuję i pozdrawiam, Kazimierz Dymek. Polska.

[@jerzypoprawa2016]

Takoz i ja tam bylem. A cover bardzo zacny!

[@oxygene65]

This is one of my favourite Tangerine Dream tracks of all time. This is an absolute superb recreation. Well done. Really well done. :)

[@vanderson_pl]

Big, big respect for making a cover of this famous track. Well done ! Greetings from Poland.

[@tangent4416]

Oh my God.. 9 months after the first time I heard this cover, I still get tears in my eyes. This is so fantastic and extremely well executed!!! I hope the performers were properly applauded for their efforts performing this relatively complex piece..!

[@Ian-gw2vx]

Amazing! So good that young people see this piece as value. I would definitely pay money to see this live.

[@conradgibbons2438]

Wonderful, excellent, very impressive, teutonic, magical, intelligent, respectful tribute. Johannes, Edgar and Christoph would be impressed I'm sure! ;-)

[@kozanutria7944]

Wprost niesamowita dbałość o klimat! Zapowiedź w języku polskim w stylu Jerzego Kordowicza (podobnie jak na koncercie w Polsce w 1983r) wprost osadza w miejscu zdumionego słuchacza. Każdy, kto kocha elektronicznego rocka i twórczość grupy Tangerine Dream jest na pewno w pełni usatysfakcjonowany! Bardzo dziękuję Państwu za ten wspaniały cover! Słucham muzyki elektronicznej i kocham ją od prawie czterdziestu lat i z całą odpowiedzialnością mogę stwierdzić, że wykonaliście bardzo dobrą robotę! Pozdrawiam serdecznie.

[@dariuszmarekmorawski3571]

Wspaniały Hołd dla Edgara Froese i Tangerine Dream Serdecznie pozdrawiam🇮🇩

[@JobimSynthMusic]

In 20 years listening and being influenced by tangerine dream, with Poland as one of the first albums, this is one of the best videos I have ever watched. I wish a brilliant music career for everyone involved.

Fantastic, i am absolutely stunned by your performance. Poland was my first TD album and you made such a vivid and authentic interpretation of this masterpiece. Btw, the announcement is fantastic as well!!

[@okeania]

One of the best electronic covers ever played for any act.

[@EpsilonProcess]

Poland is my "desert island" Tangerine Dream album. Fantastic work and attention to detail, even covering the announcement introducing the school and band.

[@maninspace1999]

Tangerine Dream unplugged! Brilliant.

[@kevinnolan3592]

Absolutely incredible! What musicianship - to maintain such stunning rhythm, synchronisation; to show such an understanding of the piece; to be able to translate such an iconic electronic piece into a completely acoustic rendition. Extraordinary innovation, invention and vision. I mean this when I say - this deserves the attention of the Grammys' or similar award - it's _that_ innovative.

[@harrywashello4077]

i Kordowicz jest! rewelacja; polish radio presenter and sound director Jerzy Kordowicz announced TD at the concert in Warsaw in 1983; this is fantastic, keep it up, please

[@Tangerine00]

Many thanks to all students for the fantastic performance of the complicated piece Poland. I love this trackTD. Excellent job. Thank you! Regards from Poland 👍

[@Misquamacus100]

Absolument brillant ! Une idée formidable, et une réalisation qui ne l'est pas moins. Bravo jeunes gens.

[@martinsanders6124]

I remember buying the CD of the live concert in Poland, it blew me away. This is an amazing rendition.

[@joergdankert9526]

Superb! I am flashed! That song is one of my oldest favourites from Tangerine Dream. I heard it so many times and now in a new, unbelievable good version! Great job.

[@romaxmaniax]

Very nice musical performance and excellent choice of song. Well done the young people. Greetings from Belgium.

[@thomasrydell]

Thanks for listening!

[@geraldwagner8739]

Ich höre mir jetzt seit mehreren Tagen immer wieder diese akustischen Interpretationen von Tangerine Dream an und es haut mich regelrecht von den Socken ( ja, sowas sagt man auf Deutsch) wie unglaublich nah und dicht sie am Original sind. Ich würde mich sehr freuen das mal live in Berlin sehen zu können. 👏👏👏

[@soundscapejourneys-wileymonroe]

Absolutely remarkable! I love how the capture was made of the small part from Love On A Real Train was faded in and out as well. I love it :)

[@przemyslawrudz]

Breathtaking! Waiting for Part 2. Greets from Poland :)

[@origin178]

Tangerine Dream is the future's classical music - this brilliant reworking is the proof.

[@quasarsphere]

Yes. Just. Fuckin'. YES!

[@LevelPi]

HUGE praise from someone who loves Krautrock

[@Kaffeeteria]

As hypnotic and breathtaking as the original. Great job everybody!

[@waldemarbatko3561]

naprawdę super , byłem na koncercie w Warszawie w 83 i klimat ten sam . BRAWO

Czezc.

[@bogdan1186]

Uwielbiam ten utwór . To wykonanie , to szaleństwo . Jest tak dobre jakbym słyszał Tangerine Dream . Brawo !!!

[@johnlawson5787]

wow this really works. Great interpretation. It is good to know that these students wanted to learn and play TD. Well done to all the musicians. I hope they will play more TD.

[@geraldwagner8739]

It is unbelievable! I‘m blown away. And this acoustic performance shows how complex the entire composition was.

[@randysmith6493]

That was a pretty cool project for those young adults, great job.

[@stinstan747]

This is as close to perfection as it gets. Sublime.

[@fraxis2007]

What a superb achievement! One of my all time favourite TD tracks.

[@stevecanham2191]

I'm so glad to see TD embraced by some youth. And they were amazing!! Be proud gang, very proud of your performance.

[@stephenknight9337]

Absolutely outstanding. So talented 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jakubtomasz8539]

Stunning! Edgar would like it. And that cherry on the top with introduction in polish!

[@garanceadrosehn9691]

Pretty cool. This is one of my favorite albums from Tangerine Dream. Very nicely done!

[@LordVader07]

Re-we-la-cja!!! Doskonale pamiętam koncert we Wrocławiu, zapowiedź p. Kordowicza i w ogóle całą atmosferę towarzyszącą temu wydarzeniu. Udało wam się to wszystko osiągnąć tym filmem. A jako zawodowy muzyk filharmoniczny powiem tylko - dziękuję i czapki z głów!

[@jorgecarbonell4802]

Oh my God, I love youuuu!!! You have made the best version I have ever heard from one of the best albums of Tangerine dream . Amazing work.

[@timschulz9563]

Awesome! This arrangement is so incredibly well done. I would love to hear more of this type of music. I can now see myself attending a "classical concert" with music of Tangerine Dream. Greetings from the city that brought the sounds of the future.

[@frankboisgontier6326]

Congratulations to all these students, that's an excellent job.

[@marakasofsoundcombustion9600]

This is amazing - well done to the music students for playing something out of the ordinary - and thanks Mr Rydell!

[@stefanszymura91]

Great! It's one of my favourite TD pieces, especially that I remember the original Zabrze concerts back in 1983. I am amazed with the idea to make acoustic version, and the result is overwhelming. Moreover, it's not a direct copy of the TD piece, but - better to say - creative rework. Big pity that only part one of the Poland concert is made by you; I would eagerly listen to the whole one . A nice joke is the girl in the beginning, announcing the team (in perfect Polish), as a very close paraphrase of the text read by Jerzy Kordowicz in the original recording.

[@mbarlow111]

absolutely lovely! performers should be proud. as someone who knows this piece inside and out, a wonderful job. and your teacher gets an A+, American style. This makes me smile.

[@fuzzmex3]

Great example of the human potential. This is seriously well done! Hats off to all involved.

[@herveorus7432]

Just WOOWWW. Wonderfull Job. Its a real Dream ! Congratulations to the Band from France !

Eleven minutes of magic, thank you very much!

[@POLARISMUSIC]

This is awesome ! Very well done with a big attention to details (including famous introduction ;) ). Greetings from... Poland ;)

[@geraldwagner8739]

The way the musicians emulate that specific repetitive atmosphere of a sequencer by acoustic means is incredible.

[@thomasrydell]

Thanks for listening!

[@gert.ronner]

I have known and loved the original for many years. You guys are amazing, very very well done!! Awesome!!

[@Lichfeldian--Suttonian]

Respect for this. I like the attention to the detail.

[@Trottelheimer]

Bravo! What an excellent interpretation! :-D

[@aaronmcphee]

Its always great to see the younger generation pay tribute to the electronics greats of the past, this would make Edgar, Johannes and Franke proud. Very faithful to the original....Well done all of you.

Que hermoso!!! creo que Edgar Froese estaría orgulloso de que nuevas generaciones interpreten a TD. Felicitaciones.

[@tombeton9300]

Jag är djupt imponerad av att höra en av de bästa coverversionerna av Tangerine Dream. Du lyckas inte bara spela på akustiska instrument, utan du har också hittat ditt eget sätt att hantera känslorna i låten och lagt till dina egna. Fantastiskt! I am deeply impressed to hear one of the best cover versions of Tangerine Dream. Not only do you manage to play on acoustic instruments, but you have found your own approach to the emotions of the track and added your own. Stunning!

[@johnbeagley1195]

Absolutely wonderful work guys and girls. You absolutely nailed this. I am so so impressed. You captured the atmosphere and the drama and kept faith with the original arrangements. I hope Chris Franke and Johannes Schmoelling at least get to hear this. Well done!!!

[@ulfljung4630]

I love Tangerine Dream and this is great!

[@SpeedsterIG]

If I ever would have had the idea I immediately would have considered it as not feasible. Great work! ❤️ This has to go on the big stage, do a concert!

[@thedonal]

Fantastic performance and beautifully arranged- some very inventive ways of reproducing some of the sounds. Just as hypnotic as the original.

[@Einar-Indrida]

What a fantastic performance! Looking forward for more like this!

[@ChronologieIV]

It's amazingly faithful to the original. Very good job!

[@grogboggoth]

Nothing short of astonishing. I initially thought that this would be merely a novelty but it is extraordinary.

Utterly FANTASTIC. Well done!!!

A superb acoustic cover of the opening sequence from Poland. I also love these students' versions of Charley the Kid and Love on a Real Train. Hope they do more by Tangerine Dream.

This just made my entire year! Fantastic job! I can't believe this video has been out for 2 years and I've only just found it.

[@thomasrydell]

Thanks for listening! Please also check out my other three renditions of TD songs :)

[@jamesleatherbarrow635]

@@thomasrydell Thanks, I did and I love them. Poland is one of my favourite TD albums, and you just completely nailed it with these talented kids. Giving that syncopated percussive repeating note to the pizzicato violin was genius. It sounds identical!
