David Bedford

"I especially like David Bedford and I respected him because of his classical work. Sitting in the same room as someone who could write symphonies and had stuff performed at promenade concerts and things, that was great. And he was the only one of the group who liked my demos for Tubular Bells, and he encouraged me. I'm forever grateful for that." (Mike Oldfield in the ‘Classic Rock' interview in 1999)

We can find music composed by David Bedford rather on albums with classical music, than on the records with rock music.
