专辑介绍：

英国著名电子音乐元老级Mike Oldfield的最新大碟《Music Of The Spheres》。这是一张纯粹的交响乐专辑。此次专辑邀请了来自Christchurch的新西兰歌坛小天后Hayley Westenra献音，更有值得我们中国古典音乐为之骄傲的青年钢琴家朗朗的精彩演绎。需要注意的是有的曲目仅有一分钟多点，貌似两个曲目的过渡音乐，所以整个专辑连续地听会效果更好。Mike Oldfield麦克·欧菲尔德的充满新意的大作，让我们洗耳恭听！

Mike Oldfield 一直都是音乐界的革新者。在他的一生中他得作品总是不断打破不同音乐的界限，为听众带来听觉享受。

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.
