5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing!
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2008

It's not fair for me to say that I'm no fan of Mike Oldfield's music since, before now, I had never heard anything by him - not even Tubular Bells. I had seen his name tossed around, especially in conjunction with Tubular Bells, but I never felt intrigued enough to seek out anything by him. I more or less disregarded him as a New Ager with zero musical sensibilities.

How wrong I was!

I came about this piece of music by sheer chance, it seems. In fact, I probably wouldn't have purchased the album if Amazon hadn't included it among its recommendations for things I "might also like." I checked out a couple of reviews both here and on iTunes, and it seemed that everybody who had listened to it couldn't say hardly a negative thing about it. Wondering "what gives," I decided to drop a little cash and see precisely what everyone was chattering about.

It turns out, what everyone is chattering about happens to be one of the most spectacular, luscious musical landscapes I've heard in quite a long time - and given that I'm almost constantly purchasing new music ranging from composed music (such as this) to hip-hop/rap, I feel this is quite a compliment.

This music defies physics: time altogether seems to pass by slowly, but not dull. No, far from it: every second is enjoyable! From the warm, celestial textures of the opening "Harbinger" to the soothing, blissful vocal of Hayley Westenra featured on "On My Heart," as I listen to this music I truly feel as if I'm swimming through atmospheres, dancing among the stars, and watching a divine interplay among the heavens. I'm not exaggerating. These metaphors are completely valid! The music vaguely reminds me of some of Aaron Copland's classic works ("Appalachian Spring"), and the way the vocals are utilized reminds me of Howard Shore ("Lord of the Rings") which may or may not prove to be an unfair comparison. There are hints of Oldfield's foray in to New Age as I'm reminded of Adiemus during certain sections, but I definitely don't think this is a bad thing. In all actuality, Oldfield's approach to classically composed music is refreshing given the rather stagnant nature such music has been in: either contemporary composers are selling us watered-down music in the traditional vein, or we're being exposed to unnecessary avant-garde hybrids. It's nice to hear a piece of music by a gentleman who hasn't got his head stuck in the clouds of Julliard.

Even if I never hear another work by Mike Oldfield as long as I live, this one will reign supreme among my other treasured works by the likes of Pärt, Copland, Glass, and even Sibelius.

5.0 out of 5 stars Master of the Spheres!!!...
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2008

I agree with most of the reviews found on the web. This time it is a Classical type of music form the Virtuoso Mike Oldfield. It is another orchestral work from him. "Incantations" has been one of my favorite works from Mike Oldfield. Now it is Music of the Spheres. Great work!!!!!. Definitely a great work from the Master of all Spheres.

Mike Oldfield sin duda se ha convertido en un clasico de nuestros tiempos. Asi es, no hay duda alguna que es un genio musical. Vivimos tiempos muy competidos y de cambios muy drasticos con muy pocos vituosos como Mike Oldfield que por mas de 30 años sigue deleitandonos con su magestuosa musica. Desde que yo era niño he vivido con su musica, y al igual que miles de fans alrededor del mundo hemos hecho su musica parte de nuestras vidas. Hemos registrado su musica en momentos importantes de nuestras vidas a tal grado que sirven de vehiculo para remontarnos al pasado. Para mi, cada album/CD de Mike Oldfield es como una capsula de tiempo. Es increible este concepto dificil de explicar en palabras pero su musica es parte de mi linea de vida en el tiempo. Curiosamente existe otro fenomeno tambien dificil de explicar que consiste en saber que es lo que uno espera de el, es como si muchos de los fans supieramos que es lo que sigue en la historia musical de M.O. Probablemente es tanto lo que escuchamos y re-escuchamos de su musica que se vuelve infecciosa a tal punto de poder "sentir" y/o "presivir" que es lo que viene despues. Es una sinergia increible y eso que no he tenido el gusto de conocerlo personalmente.

Ya se sentia que venia un trabajo lleno de majestuosidad como lo es componer musica con orquesta. Eso es "Music of the Spheres".

Al igual que muchos fans tengo todos sus LPs/CDs/LDs/DVDs/posters, etc... en fin, toda una inversion en tiempo y esfuerzo que me deja un buen sabor de coleccionista de la musica de un virtuoso de nuestros tiempos.

Otros artistas como Paul McCartney han hecho trabajos de "musica clasica" con una duracion de mas de 70 minutos (p.ej. Standing Stone). Mike Oldfield tiene mas creatividad para producir algo mas alla de los 45 minutos. Somos muchos los fans hambrientos de buena musica y 45 minutos apenas y satisfacen nuestro apetitos. Que tal algo asi como "Incantations", o "Amarok", o algo asi como "The Songs of Distant Earth"?.

Felicidades a Mike Oldfield por otra gran joya musical!!. Hats off!!!.

Eduardo Nava.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tubular Bells, The Movie
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2008
Verified Purchase
Like others before me, this album reminds me of a movie score. It is sweeping, grand, intimate, majestic, and overall just plain good. The 'overture' Harbinger hits on all of these qualities, while Animus is at once plaintive and contemplative and then tremendously grandiose. It reminds me of the writing of Basil Poledouris. Silhouette brings out the closest thing to a lead guitar, while still retaining the classical tone, and could be the love song of the album. Shabda follows up with a choral section that sounds straight out of Karl Jenkins' Adiemus. The Tempest blends much of what we've heard together so far. On My Heart sounds like it belongs in the middle of an Enya album. Aurora is an uptempo that reminds me of something that would sound good in a desert epic film. Prophecy has a sinister majesty all its own. Harmonia Mundi sounds like it escaped from James Horner's Braveheart score. The Other Side is an exotic, brooding desert piece that could be right at home in Maurice Jarre's Lawrence of Arabia. Empyrean blasts the trumpet fanfare one more time, and Musica Universalis hearkens back to the end of part one from Tubular Bells to close the album out.

So why the one star deduction? Because it all follows the Tubular Bells formula, and it has the ghosts from that album appearing constantly throughout, making it almost a Tubular Bells 4. One has to wonder if Mike can't get his first album out of his head. Certainly he has done spectacular work that didn't follow that formula, and it makes me wish he had resisted this time. After all, we have Tubular Bells 1, 2, 3, 2003, and Orchestral. That seems enough.

El genuí Mike Oldfield en una música simfònica new age amb reminiscències del Tubular Bells. Dura només 45 min., però sense pauses i amb una varietat de melodies que atrapa i relaxa.

5.0 out of 5 stars classique contemporain
Reviewed in France on March 12, 2014
Verified Purchase
c'est une belle oeuvre orchestrale et chantée

sur le principe ultra répandu : alterner des moments suaves avec des moments davantage tumultueux
la réussite de cet album est que les parties orchestrales sont réussies (et pas seulement destinées à faire apprécier les calmes) 4/5 pour les zim boum boum
même si je suis avant tout fan de la mélodie des parties calmes (Shabda) 5/5 pour ces moments de délicatesse musicale

autre principe ultra répandu : variations autour d'un même thème

légère coloration pop parfois, non sans évoquer -sur un court moment- la BO de l'exorciste (domage en ce qui me concerne, mais qui pourra séduire les fans)

orchestration, prise de son : naturelles (vrai orchestre, vraies voix) et parfaites (contrairement à song of distant earth qui avait une sonorité synthétique)

This CD was a pleasant surprise. Shows how this exceptional composer and instrumentalist remains creative with a work of great value. The album is a classic that can be compared to the great albums of the 70's and is not far behind. Who likes of Mike Oldfield can not stop him and is a good start for those who want to know their work. The compositions and the interplay between them is concise and build a work well done. Excellent! Note 9.5.
