Album Description
This is the special edition release of Mike Oldfield's 'Music of the Spheres'. This release is a double disc album which includes a bonus disc of the 'Live at the Guggenheim' performance that was recorded on 7th March 2008 in Bilbao and is now available for the very first time. The Legendary Mike Oldfield is only one of three artists to ever knock himself off the number one spot (the other two being Bob Dylan and The Beatles.) Mike Oldfield's debut album Tubular Bells has sold over 16 million records worldwide and is still selling. 'Music of the Spheres' sees the collaboration with the highly respected Karl Jenkins. Oldfield has returned to his ubiquitous Tubular Bells and used a theme from it AS the theme for his first attempt at a truly 'classical' album.
With a guest appearances by the divine Hayley Westenra on
the vocal piece 'On My Heart' and acclaimed pianist Lang Lang who appears throughout, Oldfield has drawn upon the best the Classical world has to offer for this outing.
