This is so far my largest work as a composer. I wrote the piece in 2012.
Inspiration is obviously the great “Top Gun Anthem” that genius composer Harold Faltermeyer composed as the soundtrack for the Hollywood Blockbuster “Top Gun” from which i adapted the original theme to the cello. All the following variations are my own work. I hope Harold Faltermeyer doesn’t mind the use of his “Top Gun Anthem” as the theme for my “Top Gun Variations”. I tried to contact him to know for sure but didn’t get an answer. Please let me know if I violate a copyright and I will take this video down immediately.
Concert took place in Fribourg, Centre le Phénix on January 13, 2013.
Sebastian Diezig, Cello
this is beyond stunning and incredible. This is one of my absolute favorite movies and themes, and Im very pleased to hear another ‘cellist’s own appreciation and interpretation of this piece.
beautiful.
Thank you Jess! Have a nice day
Sebastian, this is amazing and I do not know why it took me so long to find this! I am just starting up cello again after 16 years off. Do you by chance have sheet music for sale for this? Would love to purchase it if you do!
