19:44 The solo violin here was an excellent choice by Bedford as it matches the expressiveness Oldfield's guitar (at very high register) extremely well, and possibly even more beautiful which is a giant ask when comparing to Oldfield.
Beautiful work is a sound poem of deep nostalgia, it takes me to the neighborhoods of Ñuñoa where I studied my high school in the late 70s. Greetings from Santiago de Chile. .... and thanks mrranMúsica for sharing.
Stunning. I love how it’s faithful to the flaws in the original. The opening is spot on. Not easy for an orchestra to play counter to their training. Mike cannot write music notation, so this is a damn fine tribute to a brilliant LP. Kudos all round.
It's a pleasure. Thanks also to Tony Staveacre who posted this first part... in two parts. I simply put them together as carefully as possible. Have a nice day!
@@kisskari This is obviously a good question, but unfortunately I don't have any information about it. And I doubt that we can find it anywhere. I'm sorry.
Brutaaal!!! Hacía demasiados años que no escuchaba esta joya🤔. Enhorabuena por el gran trabajo realizado👌🏻. Nunca lo había visto con tan buena calidad😯. Me sigue afilando el pelaje!!🤤😉💪🏻👏🏻
Merci pour cette publication, thanks for posting. Cette version est magnifique, le final avec les choeurs tout particulièrement, et le petit tour de planeur va bien avec ce morceau.
23:04 is my favourite moment, it was already 43 years ago when Hergest Ridge was released on vinyl (which I still have). The climax is wonderful after this long buildup!
Especially. Ommadawn. Another classic along with incantations. I manage to get maddy prior,the lead singer, to sign the vinyl for me at a steely span concert. Magic.
My second lp ever! Rediscovered! Flowing with those sounds in the past is only a very superficial concept! Was much more, have not seen any relaunches tonight and maybe better not. But seriously this is very much ripe for a full HD relaunch not over doing not bombastic but solid grounded and clear, revealing history and kind of minimal approach, please!!!
One of my favourite moments, if not, my favourite moment of Hergest Ridge is the electric guitar solo. In this video from 18:18. But that clarinet, or later, that violin couldn't match the expressivity and the power of the Mike Oldfield's electric guitar solo tone.
Either all instruments haven't been tuned, or they try to copy the feel of the original album, which doesn't work very well when performed with a full orchestra. The same mistake (but even worse) was made with The Orchestral Tubular Bells. I love Oldfield's music, but those orchestral performances are, well, bad.
@@rafael16759 I have already given the explanation. Someone had posted part 1, but in 2 parts. I only put these two parts together, which now make up the whole of part 1.
Trouble with this digitised audio visual stuff is that the conducters right hand apears to be constantly out of sync with the notes the members of the orchestra are actually playing, y know, its enough to really piss any serious musician off, big time. Get my drift man ? Peace out.
HOW CAN SOMEONE NOT ADORE SUCH A WONDERFUL AND PRECIOUS ORCHESTRAL CREATION MIKE OLDFIELD IS A GENIUS WHEN IT COMES TO MUSIC OF THE SOUL...

Nothing is better than Oldfield himself 🎸🤗.

This lends itself much, much better to orchestral versions than TB. This one is excellent. The footage is great, too. Thanks

@@francisbroka9471 Can we, by any chance, get to know which orchestra is playing...?

@@francisbroka9471 Thanks, anyway!
La maldita banda sonora de mi vida.
Probablement ce qu'il a composé de plus beau. Bravo.

So much wonder in this music!
Yes!
Masterpiece

That bit gets me every time. Especially when I'm driving. Tears just flows down. I so much miss the 70s.
@@joshbrown588 I'm not sure I miss the 70s. Maybe some aspects like still being young. But hey, the music is still there!
It is. Your right. But some music hits a nerve which you can't control. But thanks for your comment. Another oldfield fan I take it?
@@joshbrown588 Absolutely an Oldfield fan, especially the older albums

With a well rehearsed orchestra & conductor this would be a standard piece on Classic FM

Mike è nella Storia della Musica
And he'll never do anything again. But you have to recognise that he had his best behind him, and I think he realised that quite clearly...
A new version of my video with more light and more sound! ;-) Thanks to Tony Staveacre
Francis: Date 7/09/17 and the volume on my PC is at max but I can barely hear the music! Are you sure you added more sound?

true, it's also one of my favourite moments. And agree - Oldfield's sound could not be matched by another instrument
Thanks
16:50!
Pena que só foi o primeiro movimento.

year?
Rafael7 - I didn't find the precise day, but the year is certain: 1974. Have a good day!

Conductor has to be one beat ahead, that's what he's doing.
