Wakeman,Rick White Rock 2 CD

Rick Wakeman has frequently been described as a keyboard prodigy. After being famous as a session musician at the end of the Sixties (For works with David BOWIE, Cat STEVENS, T-REX and BLACK SABBATH among others), he reached the peak of his fame during the following decade, contending with Keith EMERSON for the title of "most skilful keyboardist". in 1973 he launched a solo career whose peak was probably his adaptation of the famous Jules VERNE story "Journey to the Centre of the Earth". The only public performance of this piece was recorded on 18 January 1974 at the Royal Festival Hall in London with the assistance of the LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA and THE ENGLISH CHAMBER CHOIR.

Released on the EMI Classics label at the beginning of 1999, this epic features the participation of Patrick STEWART (From "Star Trek"), Bonnie TYLER and Ozzy OSBOURNE... "The Six Wives of Henry V.
