One of the most important works of electronic music and modern classical, Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and is honoured here on this new studio recording. Performed by the highly venerated Royal Philharmonic Orchestra with the London Contemporary Voices Choir, conducted by award-winning composer Simon Dobson with special guest MC actor Brian Blessed (Flash Gordon/Blackadder. Also includes additional selections from Oldfield's ouvre that have never before been performed by a full orchestra!
Tubular Bells was the debut studio album by English multi-instrumentalist, composer and songwriter Mike Oldfield conceived in 1971 and finally released in 1973. Oldfield who was just 17 years old when he started composing the music, recorded and played almost all of the instruments on the album. It gained worldwide acclaim when the opening theme was used for the soundtrack of the horror film, The Exorcist and went on to become the highest selling instrumental album of all time.
A bold and progressive fusion, Tubular Bells is a journey through classical, jazz, folk, prog rock and electronica.
