簡介：

英國著名電子音樂元老級Mike Oldfield的最新大碟《Music Of The Spheres》。這是一張純粹的交響樂專輯。此次專輯邀請了來自Christchurch的新西蘭歌壇小天后Hayley Westenra獻音，更有值得我們中國古典音樂為之驕傲的青年鋼琴家朗朗的精彩演繹。需要注意的是有的曲目僅有一分鐘多點，貌似兩個曲目的過渡音樂，所以整個專輯連續地聽會效果更好。Mike Oldfield麥克·歐菲爾德的充滿新意的大作，讓我們洗耳恭聽！

Mike Oldfield 一直都是音樂界的革新者。在他的一生中他得作品總是不斷打破不同音樂的界限，為聽眾帶來聽覺享受。

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.
