Ommadawn is the best composition of 20th century!!!
+KWOT altern
totaly agree !
Finally
Epic genius, this!
In fact, it is considered the first truly 'world music' record ever!
Absolutely brilliant arrangement. I have been an Oldfield listener since I first heard Tubular Bells back in 1973 ... I've never heard anything like this before but it is epic. Thanks.
One of my goto youtube videos for when life gets too much and I need to relax, love it in every way.
Beautiful, just like the original master work.
Mike Oldfield ES el músico con mayor creatividad y genialidad para ensamblar distintos estilos de musica. No es el mas rapido o el mas virtuoso, pero si el mas creativo, que es lo mas importante en la musica de verdad! !!
Fantastic! Thanks very much. One of my favourite Mike Oldfield compositions.
Ommadawn is my favourite Mike Oldfield album. Great to see it Returned to as he has. This is a fine interpretation here too. I guess it would be all to easy to make a mess of it with each piano take having its own parts. A little gem that has been hiding on RUclips going all the way back to 2014.
Marvellous. Very authentic rendition masterfully arranged to incorporate many of the subtle and intricate lines of the original.
Very pure, Ommadawn is one of the many albums I like the best of Mike Oldfield) I am am almost just as old as he is, and I was there from the beginning with Tubular Bells.
Even now I play return to Ommadawn a lot.
I am a Dutchman, living mostly in Sweden.
I belong to the earliest fans of Mike)
Not with everything , but with a lot of his music)
Bart Creemers
Quite brilliant. So well done! Thank you.
Not everyone will enjoy this as much as I did, but I am a big Ferrante and Teicher fan from way back, so I perceive this as something they might have done adapting Oldfield. Nice arranging and performance.
An excellent performance! A request: Can you do Hergest Ridge or some extracts from Incantations?
+1 I would love to hear Hergest Ridge like this. Incantations would be great too!
Thirded. The more the better. Love Hergest Ridge and Orchestral version. Interested in hearing the dual piano version.
Me too, I'd love to hear Hergest Ridge and Incantations too, performed like this
Noticed theTubular Bells quote at 1:20. Not sure if this was your contribution or if it's in the original and I just never noticed it.
Un arreglo fantástico para, quizás, la mejor composición instrumental del siglo 20.
+Antonio Cabrera Cuanto entusiasmo! Escucharé con la debida atención. Gracias!
+ Robert Ferro, Sí, tienes razón... dejémoslo en "mi preferida".
Where are the Players???What a beautiful Performance.
That was amazing. Thank you so much for posting that.
Thank you for this brilliant arrangement of a great piece of music
Beruhigende Musik. HERRLICH
Love the little tubular bells callback at 10:40
Interesting to hear this just played on one instrument (okay, two- but both pianos)... I definitely prefer the original! Still I'm so hooked on it that I can't turn it off. Ommadawn is one of my favorite albums of all time.
What a great piano interpretation! I love it - thank you so much and greetings from Switzerland!
Meseriasul creeaza de mic , o parere doar ...Gorgeous /fain ..No hai sa ascultam Domnului Doamne !
Incredible arrangement! Thanks you very much for this!
Simply beautiful....
Amazing performance! Ommadawn has so many layers and at some points I thought you could do with a third piano.
To all you critics out there... don't be so picky.. this is good stuff..
Ommadawn en pianos un sueño imposible realizado
Fantastic !! Amazing !! Really good,Beautiful !!. Thanks
It's really odd... I find that while listening to the original Ommadawn, I feel the song is kind of... Off, and I kind of think "Not my preferred work of Mike Oldfield". But with it being played on only one sort of instrument, I can actually feel the compositional value. And so to Mike Oldfield, I apologize... That is one hell of a piece of music.
I'm the opposite. I find this a bit plodding with every chord change on the bar. I know that's how it is on record, but maybe I would have embelished more.
@@jeffblack5024 My comment was from a long time ago and in retrospective I'm not sure I agree with my original stance either. My appreciation for the original piece has grown immensely since. The vast range of instruments he uses in the original makes it feel like your in a completely different universe. Greatly appreciate the original!
SILENCE...!!!! Genius at work........
Amazing... Thank you so much !
fantastic arrangement!
Like the nod to 'Tubular Bells' in the counter melody arpeggio early on
Beautiful interpretation of one of my favorite Oldfield compositions.
Love the jazzy ending.
This is beautiful! I love Ommadawn.
Me too
Great ! Fantastic performance !!!!!!!!
Absolutely outstanding

10:39 a little piece of Tubular Bells! Clever ;)
Another one at 1:22.... 👍
Well spotted. Hergest Ridge (which I love) was a bit of an anomaly and Mike almost kicking out against the success of Tubular Bells. Ommadawn was the natural successor to Tubular Bells and was reprised :)
Beautifully done 😃
Incredible!!! Excelent!!! Thanks for sharing
Simply great !! Thanks a lot for this !!
Really, really nice - great idea, perfectly executed!
Superb musicianship I thought it was an outstanding piece of music.I never realised how intricate the way the chords and melodies were this gives a non musician like myself a great insight into the way how things sound. Is this available to buy?
Guauu woow no hay palabras que justamente puedan descirbir esta maravillosa obra.
This is perfection!
Tribute to M.Oldfield and this lovely piano version of Ommadawn
Brilliant !
Great👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Impresionante. Realmente maravilloso

Great work
superbe...
Amazing!
How may I buy a recording of this?
Good job man! It's so interesting!!!!
Bravo !!!
very very very goooooooddddddd
Amazing work !!
Duality of many bulls, starts Right, here.
increible!!
Perfect!
This is actually quite good. I'm not sure some of the "a measure here, a measure there" trims were necessary, but still quite good.
oh my goodness!
Very enjoyable thank you. Just a little heavy @ 9.06.
Beautiful!
Just one remark though. The end could have been a bit more aggressive. Otherwise it was perfect!
We want CD!
yes please!
Probably copyrighted, so it's not possible.
awesome. will somebody please say if this is commercially available?
I've looked for it and it seems like it is not.
thanks for looking
send me your email : info@greenlandmusic.de
I have to say I'm not keen on the "jazz" feel to the short, almost final section at 12:12 either, but the rest of it is just superb!
from 1:20 onwards you can hear for about nine seconds quasi as a hidden message Oldfield´s Tubular Bells / The Exorcist basic theme! :)
Its possible to hear this into apple music, spotify or similar?
Magnífico ;)
Genial !!!
a dream of a dream
Entre los seres humanos siempre habrá genios.
PS naughtily sneaking in some of Tubular Bells at around 1'20"!
I was allowed to entertain. Thank you !
This cover is really amazing. Very beautiful cover by piano of one of the most beautiful compositions from Mike... But I agree with the idea that the final part is less emotive than the original one with the screaming guitar. Anyway, congratulations for this piece
Imagine my surprise!
Keep trying, because everybody's Mike Oldfield. Have a nice day.
please play an arrangement or at least excerpts of incantations!
So Beautiful ! Chicken-Skin !
The opening few keys sound like Wow Wow wow from Kate Bush.
where can I buy the cd ?
Not wanting to be rude, but with a *little bit* of polishing, I too would buy your version.
Nice arrangement and performance. No polishing please, like it this way, I feel close to the performance.
You think this is good !!!.. You should hear me doing MOULDY OLD DOUGH on six pianos !!...It beats the shit out of my other attempt at greatness, SOLSBURY HILL on four tubas.... Seriously though, this is extremely good and well done Carsten - I love Ommadawn and have seen Mike do it live in Brisbane where he had three drummers all of some repute.
Where can I hear Mouldy Old Dough on two pianos?
While I like most of this, I absolutely do not like the arrangement at 12:12 at all. The finale is famous for being powerful, serious, and heart-wrenching, but here it has been turned into a sort of playful jazz riff. If this were a jazz cover of Ommadawn it would make sense, but in a piece that is otherwise truthful to Oldfield's work it is very jarring to switch moods like that when the original piece does not.
I don't agree. Since you don't have that number of instruments and vocals, percussion, etc. the final needs one more layer and that slight change works fine.
+Viktor Vigh I don't think you understood my comment... What does needing an extra layer have to do with completely changing the genre and emotion of the music? They were not forced to make the ending jazzy and playful, but that is what they chose to do. The original ending was a very serious, raw, and emotional "scream" from the heart, written to emulate the terror that a baby feels as it is forced out of the womb and into the bright, cold world. This arrangement, while certainly easy on the ears and skillfully played, makes it seem like the baby is waltzing nonchalantly out of the womb, so to speak, which is a very unexpected and anticlimactic turn for the song to take at that point.
Hi! To be frank I don't think that the part you mention were so bad as you describe it. Before listening it I believed that the jazz arranges would sound as some kind of Mississipi Jazz Band, but actualy it sounds less "joyful" as I previously imagined. In fact they are just a few seconds sounding jazzy but it sounds pretty in the mood of the whole piece.
i have just listened to it now for the 3rd time and i totaly agree with you
mike est de retour avec du rêve génial merci
A great interpretation BUT... as commented elsewhere, why ruin it with the too-clever-by-half totally inappropriate jazzed up latter part!
Could cover more instrument channels and the end is poor !
Oldfield did a lot of good things until around 1984 ....
"Platinum" was the last thing he did that I really loved.
Return to ommadawn is quite good but this comment was before that was released but...........I see where your coming from. although I do like Tubular Bells II & III but not The Millennium Bell - it puts Tubular Bells to Shame.
What happened to him in 1984?
Weird....
Arrangement is mediocre at best. Very fussy, the syncopated jazzed up part was particularly appalling. Good idea bad arrangememt
A matter of taste really.
