About
<i>Piano Odyssey</i> is a solo album by Rick Wakeman, former keyboardist with Yes and pianist on some of David Bowie’s greatest songs. Wakeman pays homage to <i>The Six Wives of Henry VIII</i>, his solo release from 1973, with a thrilling new arrangement of the Bach-inspired “Jane Seymour,” and covers considerable musical ground throughout with his orchestra and choir. It’s a showcase not just for his technical talents, but also for his arranging skills, with Wakeman tackling Handel, Dvořák, Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”—with a guest appearance from the band's Brian May—The Beatles’ “Strawberry Fields Forever,” Liszt, and a couple of Yes songs. It’s all delivered with imagination and style.
