Music : Music Of The Spheresby: Mike Oldfield
Disc 1:
Editorial Review: Description: Legendary musician and composer Mike Oldfield returns with his follow up to 2005's 'Light & Shade' by creating his first truly classical recording. Joined by renowned composer Karl Jenkins and the Sinfonia Sfera Orchestra, 'Music Of The Spheres' sees Oldfield take inspiration from his million selling debut 'Tubular Bells' creating a unique piece of music split into two parts. Classical vocalist Hayley Westenra and acclaimed pianist Lang Lang also appear. From the Artist: Music Of The Spheres By Mike Oldfield In this world, everything has a pulse or a vibration. This sound is unique to each living or non living thing and in itself creates a music that no-one can hear. I believe that this has a very powerful resonance with, and a deep effect, on our lives. What would happen if we took this further and apply this to bigger things , more powerful things ; like an entire solar system or galaxy say, what would that sound like? Musica Universalis is the ancient theory that every celestial body, the sun, the moon and the stars has an inner music. This is a harmonic and mathematical concept derived from the movements of the planets in the solar system. The music created is inaudible to the human ear. Music of the Spheres is my interpretation of this theory. Every planet and every star; even the whole universe has music within it that no-one can hear, this is what it would sound like if it was set free. This is Music of the Spheres. Mike Oldfield.

 Rating:  - Good-to-be-alive musicBrought up on TB1, I have to admit to bias but without doubt this is joyous music which lifts the spirits and makes one glad to be alive. Sit back and enjoy! Thanks, Mike. Rating: - it just gets better week after week.Have had this lp for about a month,at first i thought it was t.b by orchestra but over the weeks it has developed a place of its own. It is not "planets" for the millenium ,it is a valid piece of classical styled music.Give it a go" your worth it". Rating:  - Music?I'd waited the two weeks it takes for parcels to cross from UK to the Gulf in huge anticipation after inadvertently discovering this album on Amazon - Oldfield taking a crack at galactic vibration - now you're talking! What a deflationary, nay, interplanetary let-down. I'm listening to and rejoicing in Amarok as I write - even though I'm depriving myself of sleep and have an early start, you simply cannot start Amarok and not go right through to the end of its glorious, ...

It may be good as a classical album, but the trademark seering guitars, the power and energy in the compositions are completely lacking. I agree with many other reviewers on Amazon and elsewhere. I thought this album might grow on me, so after listening to it for 3 months or so, still I feel it has not worked it's magic. Dear Mike, please give us another trademark album before you retire! Rating: - Great as usualAgain Mike Oldfield gave us a record that is unique but has his strong style. I was just a little surprised that CD is so short - but it is because there is never enought of listening of Mike's music. Browse for similar items by category:
