rmb1407 Hi Robin. Whilst recovering from the magnificent first half of your recent Tubular Bells 50th anniversary tour I was held back getting some refreshments by your recordings on piano of Mike’s melody’s during this interval.
I was spellbound. Glued to my seat taking in this majestic, acoustic sound and I wanted more. As an avid Mike Oldfield fan since the 70’s I have wondered why I hadn’t heard this before or aware of any recordings.
Thank you for finally releasing.
It is simply stunning. Bravo

lucealba Beautiful versions, shame about the audio quality: some songs (not all) have obvious background noise that spoil the listening.

I also bought Robert Reed - Sanctuary For Piano which thankfully is a perfect recording

about

For me, it has been such a pleasure throughout my career to play the music of Mike Oldfield.
In this album of piano music, I want to celebrate Mike’s beautiful melodies, having such a huge admiration for his detail to beauty and unparalleled originality. We often connect Mike with his music and his guitar playing, but here I wanted to strip it right back to just purely the melody and the music. I have taken some of my favourite segments of Mike’s compositions and reimagine them as piano solos. From the outset of just playing them I realise the inequality that each one creates from a sublime tranquillity to a musical landscape that can transport you anywhere you like. Oddly enough I created this album whilst looking at the beautiful Cotswold countryside where I live, which is located literally two miles from where Mike once lived, so the inspiration is all around both visually and in my heart. No computers, no electronics, just going back to basics of playing the piano and letting these beautiful melodies flow through me and hopefully flow through you also. Through my work here, and through the reimagining of Tubular Bells, my wish is that Mike’s standing as one of the great British composers is held full and centre. Through these inspired folk melodies, and almost classical breadth of structure, I hope my journey here reaches your hearts and gives you as much pleasure as it has for me just closing my eyes and playing this beautiful music.

This is the most beautiful symphonic progressive music I have heard since I first heard Yes' Magnification nearly 20 years ago. Robert Reed's orchestrations are magnificent, and are very much on par with Trevor Rabin's film scores as well as Larry Groupe's score for Magnification. I am a french horn player, and his soaring horn parts are some of the best I have ever heard. For some reason I could not select Part1: Sacrifice as my favorite track. It is indeed my favorite. luckeydoug1
