Rick Wakeman - Live Portraits

This is one of the better Rick Wakeman live appearances, which has been beautifully captured in the majestic ambience within Lincoln Cathedral. On the back of his successful highly praised 'Piano Portraits' album, Rick went out on the road and played to sold out crowds. Such success, he decided to record one of the performances as represented here. Each song is headed by an anecdote from Rick himself followed by a solo performance on a grand piano in front of a packed house. I could watch this for hours. The film really does capture Rick's mesmerising piano playing abilities at his very best with out any accompaniment whatsoever. The film currently can be seen in segments on his Youtube channel, but if you prefer the whole DVD of the complete film with extras, then simply visit his site. Wonderfully produced and edited, it's simply gorgeous to watch! Thank goodness he chose to capture this event!
