CD Reviews

Pretty good solo piano by Wakeman

06/28/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Preludes is another Wakeman cd of just piano, no synth, guitar or drums. I own all of his solo piano efforts and this is one of Rick's best outings; pretty inspired, good melodies, an overall happy mood and outstanding technique, as always. If you like this kind of piano works, I highly recommend Wakeman's "piano album" (for me his best, including instrumental versions of "And you and I" "Wonderous stories" and the beautiful "Morning has broken") the three "Air" albums and also his "Heritage suite"."

Piano music for the soul

(5 out of 5 stars)

"A beautiful piano release, full of emotion and passion. Wakeman's trademark melodic sound waves are evident and his expressions of sensitivity denotes the maestro's personal views on a new era, a new beginning for the world and mankind. Preludes to a Century is an exquisite trait to the ear, but especially, the soul. The theme "Only a Dream" has got to be one of the top 10 piano tunes ever. Breathtaking!"
