Beautifully done by this great artist and interpreter of Mike Oldfield. Some of the best Mike Oldfield cover versions you will ever hear.  They deserve to be all given a proper CD release.

1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5VrKEkLDgc
Peace (from Tubular Bells), Women of Ireland, Tubular Bells excerpt, Summit Day.

2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DECtkttdNxU
Broad Sunlit Uplands, Tubular Bells 2 theme, Mont St Michel, She Walked through the Fair.

3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQYc6gM2d7k
Ommadawn, Moonlight Shadow, To France, The Inner Child.


ED: The name should obviously be Robin A. Smith but unfortunately you can't edit the topic name  :(

Mr Goon in Enid Blyton's "Five Find-Outers" series always says "Gah!"  :laugh:  He also says "Clear Orf", which is why I have been absent from this forum for a month. :O

Sadly, my wife doesn't like Mike's music at all. :/ But I think that's mainly because of the instrumentation, not the melodies themselves. She likes to have calming piano music playing in the background.

I already have the 'Mike Oldfield on two pianos' series from Carsten Gerlitz (Greenland Music), but a lot of passages in those pieces are a bit too heavy, too present to have in the background. But these covers by Robert A. Smith will probably do well. :)

I'd rather be... happy?

I didn't know about the "Two Pianos" series, they look excellent I am going to listen to them today.  Thanks and I'm sure your wife will enjoy the Robin Smith versions they are outstanding.
