Tubular Bells for Two is a music-theatre production created and performed by Australian multi-instrumentalists Aidan Roberts and Daniel Holdsworth. In the show the two musicians re-create Mike Oldfield's 1973 album ''Tubular Bells'' live with over twenty instruments. They won The Sydney Fringe award for 'Best Musical Moment' in 2010, and have since featured at major arts festivals around Australia and the Pacific, including Sydney Festival and NZ International Arts Festival. The production made its European début at the 2012 Edinburgh Festival Fringe where it won two awards,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Tubular Bells For Two Shows )〕 going on to tour Europe in 2013 for the 40th anniversary of the original Oldfield album.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tubular Bells for Two, UK website )〕 ==History== Long-time friends and collaborators, Roberts and Holdsworth, conceived the show 'almost by accident' whilst listening to records around a fire during the Australian winter of 2008. After listening to the original Oldfield classic, the two decided to try to play the album from start-to-finish on two guitars. According to Michael Dwyer, "Performing the album was furthest from their minds. But week by week, as Roberts' living room slowly filled to bursting with dozens of instruments, the bells of destiny became impossible to ignore."〔 Eventually they were attempting to re-create Tubular Bells note-for-note on over twenty instruments between the two of them, and finally, after 9 months of rehearsal, they decided to perform it. The duo contacted The Clarendon in Katoomba NSW, Australia, and asked for a 'quiet night', because they did not think the performance would have much appeal. They were given the night of Good Friday, 2009, and to their surprise the show sold-out. This led to an invitation to the Sydney Fringe Festival in 2010 where the show received a ''Sydney Fringe Award'' for ''Best Musical Moment''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Sydney Fringe Announces 2010 Award Winners )〕 The pair have since gone on to perform sell-out seasons at the Victorian Arts Centre in 2011, Darwin Festival 2011, Sydney Festival 2012 and the New Zealand International Arts Festival 2012.〔 ''Tubular Bells for Two'' was performed at the 2012 Edinburgh Festival Fringe〔 where the show won a ''Herald Angel Award''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Edinburgh Fringe Show 2012 )〕 and a ''Sixth Star Bobby Award''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tubular Bells for Two, Broadway Baby )〕 During 2013 the show toured Australia, New Zealand and Europe to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the original Oldfield album. In 2014 there was an extensive tour of The Netherlands, and in 2015 it toured the USA, Iceland and parts of Australia.〔 At the Adelaide Fringe in 2015, the show was garnered with two awards, winning a Weekly Award,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fringe Weekly Winners )〕 and the BankSA Adelaide Fringe Award for Best Music.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Adelaide Fringe Awards )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tubular Bells for Two」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
