    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @jeffblack5024
      @jeffblack5024 Год назад +1

      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.

    • @RSSpeacemaker
      @RSSpeacemaker Год назад

      @@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!

      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 :)

  • @HenryDavidFloyd
    @HenryDavidFloyd 8 лет назад +16

    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.

    • @viktorvigh4513
      @viktorvigh4513 8 лет назад +4

      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.

    • @HenryDavidFloyd
      @HenryDavidFloyd 8 лет назад +5

      +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.

    • @gustavoaparicio
      @gustavoaparicio 8 лет назад

      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.
