With 'Melancholia', Rick Wakeman completes a remarkable trilogy of solo piano works that began with 'Piano Portraits' (2017) \u0026amp; continued with 'Piano Odyssey' (2018) - both landmark albums that found him reaching new heights of popularity \u0026amp; critical esteem as a solo artist. But while those records looked outward, reinterpreting beloved melodies \u0026amp; exploring sweeping themes, 'Melancholia' turns inward, inviting us into the most personal, introspective \u0026amp; perhaps profound music of Wakeman's storied career. The album began, as so much of Wakeman's finest work has, with a quiet moment at the piano. One afternoon, his wife Rachel overheard him playing a contemplative piece - what would later become \"Garo\" - \u0026amp; was struck by it's quiet emotional power. And because she knew well that he often turned to the piano in times of sadness or inner turbulence, using music as a kind of emotional compass, she encouraged him to share it. What followed was not a conceptual record in the traditional sense, but a deeply cohesive suite, written intuitively at first \u0026amp; later shaped in collaboration with long-time producer \u0026amp; engineer Erik Jordan at The Granary Studio in Norfolk. Recorded on a beautiful Steinway Model D, the sound of 'Melancholia' is rich, resonant \u0026amp; stripped bare in the most delicate way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Sitting at the Window [03:24] \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Reflection [03:41] \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Pathos [04:13] \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Dance of the Ghosts [03:57] \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Alone [04:46] \u003cbr\u003e1.6 The Morning Light [03:28] \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Garo [03:50] \u003cbr\u003e1.8 All in the Mind [05:01] \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Sea of Tranquility [02:59] \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Missing [03:39] \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Watching Life [03:50] \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Melancholia [03:39]\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Rick Wakeman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54030594408770,"sku":"45513329","price":11.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/3890\/8994\/files\/4456941-3447339.jpg?v=1779668811","url":"https:\/\/j7zgav-5e.myshopify.com\/products\/wakeman-rick-melancholia-140gm-silver-vinyl-vinyl-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
