Giorgio Moroder
Giorgio Moroder se narodil 26. dubna 1940 ve meste Ortisei v Italii. Po vystudovani umelecke stredni skoly hraval s ruznymi kapelami hlavne na tanecnich zabavach a festivalech. Pozdeji se prestehoval do Nemecka a zacal skladat hudbu pro sebe i jine umelce. V Arabella Haus si vytvoril studio a v roce 1974 napsal pisnicku pro Donnu Summer Love To Love You Baby, se kterou slavil prvni mezinarodni uspech. V druhe polovine sedmdesatych let se hodne venoval produkci, tentokrat uz v USA - hlavne v New Yorku a Los Angeles. Tam take dostal prvni nabidku na hudbu k americkemu filmu. Reziser Alan Parker hledal skladatele pro film Pulnocni Express (Midnight Express) a zaujaly ho pisnicky z dilny Giorgia Morodera.
Hudba k Pulnocnimu Expresu slavila uspech a Moroder za ni ziskal Zlaty Globus i Oscara. Dalsi nabidky na sebe nenechaly dlouho cekat. V roce 1984 se dostavil dalsi obrovsky uspech s hudebnim filmem Flashdance, pro Giorgia znamenal dalsiho Oscara, dve ceny Grammy a dva Zlate Globy. O rok pozdeji napsal hudbu k remaku slavneho filmu Fritze Langa Metropolis, ale taky treba hymnu pro olympijske hry v Los Angeles Reach Out. Tretiho Oscara a ctvrty Zlaty Globus sve kariery ziskal v roce 1987 za baladu Take My Breath Away z filmu Top Gun. Jeho pisnicky muzeme slyset i v dalsich filmech, jako Nekonecny pribeh I a II, Superman III, nebo nedavno uvedene Elektricke sny.
Giorgio Moroder patri neodmyslitelne ke stylu disco sedmdesatych a osmdesatych let. Pracoval s neuveritelnou spoustou slavnych zpevaku (napr. David Bowie, Cher, Freddie Mercury, Elton John, ...), ale asi nejvetsi uspechy slavil ve dvojici se zpevackou Donnou Summer. Mozna vam nic nerika jeho jmeno, ale uz mnohokrat jste slyseli pisnicky, ktere napsal, i kdyz v ceskych radiich pousti casto jen odpudive ceske verze, pokud si dobre pamatuju, tak naposled se Leona Machalkova vrhla na The Never Ending Story.
