Years ago, a colleague of mine used to listen to
Mike Oldfield.
Nowadays, listening to
Blind Guardian, I came across one of Oldfield's songs,
To France, played by this German power/heavy metal band.
Mike Oldfield's version was interpreted by Maggie Reilly, and Blind Guardian's one by
Hansi Kürsch (
Demons & Wizards).
Usually the original is far better than the remake, only this case is some sort of a new interpretation, so I would say that both versions worth attention!
