The Best of Tubular Bells I, II & III
One of the most pioneering and influential musicians of all time, Oldfield’s visionary Tubular Bells series spans three albums and 17 years, with Tubular Bells created in 1971 and released in 1973, Tubular Bells II released in 1992, (the filming of the premier from Edinburgh Castle is one of the most viewed and streamed musical events ever) and Tubular Bells III released in 1998, (with the excerpt of Far above the Clouds featured in the 2012 London Olympic Opening Ceremony).
With each album, Oldfieldexpands on the incredible themes and theatrical variations he first composed at 17 years old, continually innovating and pushing boundaries.

“Hearing the timeless music performed with such passion and love brought tears to the eyes as the audience rode on waves of Oldfield’s magic. For fans of live music, this was pure joy and, for fans of Oldfield, this was perfection.”

“The whole show was huge fun, every musician was entertaining in their own way, all were massively talented, and we left with enormous smiles on our faces, safe in the knowledge that we’d watched something very special indeed.”
