Thirty years later, it's still terrific. Even in an orchestral transcription -- even in a fairly poorly played orchestra transcription -- it's still terrific. From the creeping terror of the opening through the exhilarating exaltation of its climax to the beatific fulfillment of the closing, Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells (Part 1) is still a sui genesis work of enormous power and immense beauty. Arranged from Oldfield's original and conducted by David Bedford and performed by the Royal Philharmonic, Tubular Bells (Part 1) is still an amazingly compelling piece of music. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Oldfield
