THREE CD’s in one set showcasing Rick’s compositional and performance skills for solo piano.
It is readily apparent that had Rick not veered off into the world of ‘pop’ music and rock, he would have easily been one of the world’s premier concert pianists and this collection of his recent work underlines the fact.
Over three hours of his own compositions played to perfection and over three discs – what more could you ask for?
The raison d’etre of this collection is to remedy the fact that we do not make full use of music as a means of escape into our dreams.
The three dozen pieces range in length from just under three minutes for the opening track ‘A Voyage Of Discovery’ to just under eight for ‘Into The Unknown’, and are gathered together into a trilogy representing the past, present and future.
It is an album to play when relaxing and/or in a reflective mood and is a testament to Rick’s talents as a ‘serious’ pianist.
Deft touches and flourishes abound as he takes us back into the past, has us contemplating the present and imagining the future in an amazing collection of truly magnificent musical creations.
