Amazing Grace CD/DVD - Rick Wakeman Emporium

Amazing Grace CD/DVD

$20.00

The CD features Rick’s interpretations of such classic faith-based pieces such as “Amazing Grace,” featuring his daughter Jemma on vocals, “All People That On Earth Do Dwell” and “Jerusalem” (ELP covered this national treasure on Brain Salad Surgery).

With the exception of the title track, the remaining 19 songs — including an alternate solo version of “Amazing Grace,” which is truly amazing — mostly feature Rick playing piano unaccompanied, with the occasional embellishment. It’s all pretty stuff, well played, even some quite startling like “There Is A Green Hill Far Away” and the absolutely stunning rendition of “Morning Has Broken.”

The DVD is 14 songs, slightly shorter than the CD, and are basically Rick playing over a running montage of beautifully filmed nature settings.
