{"product_id":"636551833110","title":"Wakeman, Rick: Melancholia - 140Gm Silver Vinyl (Vinyl LP)","description":"Limited silver colored vinyl LP pressing. 2025 release features 12-tracks of instrumental piano mastery from the legendary yes keysman. 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.
