Nursery Rhyme Concerto - Rick Wakeman

A fantastic rendition of Nursery Rhyme Concerto, performed by Rick Wakeman, live in Concert in 2000. I spent ages looking for this song on YouTube, but couldn't find it, so decided to upload it myself. Please rate and comment! Enjoy! =]

Rick is truly a world treasure. Certainly one of a kind. I think what shines through so much with his playing is that he's having so much fun, and you can feel that in every note. Such a gifted talent who always follows his own path.

@ChrisBoylan I know, i met him when I was four, I think what you just said is what truly inspired me to pursue piano playing. :)

Great stuff, good work putting this on :-)

The word legend doesn't do him justice.

There used to be a full video version of this but I think it was removed because of copyright issues. He explained how each nursery rhyme was done in the style of specific composers.

[alexthegr8288]

tell you what, do you want me to find out which are done in the style of who?

i have a copy of the video that i will bung on =]

have you seen him live? If you havn't its a must do thing.

[alterego55]

Unfortunately he doesn't make it to the states much. His son does when he travels with Yes.

Man, this is good stuff

[AllStarBugler]

This was up as a video at one point but apparantly removed. You can see him play this on his "Legends" DVD.
