Free Music Review: Still waiting for "Mike Oldfield"
Hit: 2 Stars
Very disappointing. To be fair, the album isn't bad when rated in the classical music department! This is not the music of Mike Oldfield I can fall in love with as I did with Mike's early, and even some later work. Classical, orchestral, and don't get me started on the violins... but where's Mike's sampled electric guitar? Sorry Mike, this one is going to the bottom of my CD collection. I'm still looking for album with magnitude of Tubular Bells, Amarok, Ommadawn, Platinum, QE2, and many more released before year 2000.
Music of the Spheres Poster
Mike Oldfield has always been famed for his unconventional approach to music. Throughout his career he has consistently broken musical boundaries, and with Music of the Spheres he continues to do so. Taking influences from Holst and Rachmaninov as much as Steve Reich or William Orbit, this piece is classical in nature, but yet is also immediately identifiable as classic Mike Oldfield. Using a full concert orchestra and choir, and with solo parts from Mike himself on guitar, legendary soprano Hayley Westenra and renowned pianist Lang Lang, this is a work with huge emotional and musical scope. The title of the piece is a reference to something that Mike feels strongly: that all music should aim to represent the spriritual, or otherworldly elements of life: something beyond the mundane and everyday. In this he has clearly succeeded. Music of the Spheres is by turns epic, tender, mournful and triumphant. It is the work of a composer who above all can make beautiful and substantial music, regardless of genre or instrumentation.Classical Music CDs
