 Tubular Mediocrity October 3, 2009
Marcus Aurelius (PA USA)
What sounds like a really interesting idea--arranging Tubular Bells for four keyboards--turns out to be a dud. The ensemble arranged only part I of the piece and recorded it twice, once for two pianos and two synths and the better of the two for four pianos. Both versions leave off the very end of part I. Maybe if they released a recording with the entire composition, I would find something rewarding in listening to an otherwise lackluster performance.
 Wonderful October 28, 2008

This is an amazing album all around. The performances are sharp and neat, while the sound is full, clear, and resonant in all the right places. Highly recommended.
 Just not the same August 2, 2008

Although I enjoy piano versions of music, this album was just not the same for me as the original new age concept music. Oldfield has commented in his autobiography that the insight which gave him his first two albums seems in some ways to have been lost forever, and for me there is simply nothing like the original versions of Tubular Bells and Hergest Ridge.
Beautiful music June 11, 2008

I am struck by the absolute timelessness of this music. We have loved it for 30 years, and now our children all love it too. This version is beautifully played, and having the two versions on the same CD is very interesting. I prefer the total piano version. Its a great record. Greg Yates in Adelaide, Australia.
nice to see others "like mike" too! May 29, 2008
