Rendez-vous is the ninth music album or eighth concept album by Jean-Michel Jarre . Jarre took this occasion of the 150th anniversary of the city of Houston and the State of Texas and the 25th anniversary of the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center of NASA on.
Specialty
When Jarre was supposed to organize an open-air concert free of charge for the audience in 1986 for the aforementioned celebrations, he recorded a new concept album especially for this event. Jarre relied to a large extent on pieces that had already been written in the past. As early as 1975, Gérard Lenorman sang the songs La Belle et la Bête and La Mort du Cygne to the melodies of Rendez-Vous 2 and 3 . From the album Music for Supermarkets Jarre used the 3rd part as Rendez-vous 5, Part 3. Special attention is given to the last track of the album Ron's Piece . The astronaut Ronald McNair wanted to record a piece on the saxophone during the Challenger space mission STS-51-L in space . However, the launch of the Challenger turned into NASA's greatest catastrophe on January 28th, as it exploded shortly after launch. Jarre wanted to cancel the concert planned for April 5, 1986, but the NASA astronauts persuaded him to hold it anyway.
