David Bedford is considered one of the UK’s foremost composers and arrangers working both in the Classical and pop genre. He first came to the attention of the rock world as a member of Kevin Ayer’s band and the arranger of Kevin’s album Joy Of A Toy. He was also the arranger on an orchestral version of possibly one of the most famous albums ever, Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells. In 1976 David released The Odyssey, an album which was a musical setting for the play by Homer. This CD is from the one-off live performance of The Odyssey which took place at the Royal Albert Hall on the 25th of January 1977. It was a star studded affair and the performance featured amongst others Mike Ratledge (Soft Machine), Jon Lord (Deep Purple), Dave Stewart (Egg, National Health), Neal Ardley, Peter Lemer and Mike Oldfield.
