Piano Odyssey

Following the commercial and critical success of Wakeman's previous album, Piano Portraits (2017), Wakeman decided to produce a follow-up album. In April 2018, Wakeman announced that his manager had secured an agreement with Sony Masterworks to release it. Piano Odyssey continues the theme of the previous with a selection of original, cover versions, and classically-inspired compositions arranged by Wakeman for the piano, but contains additional orchestral arrangements from the London-based Orion Orchestra and the English Chamber Choir. Wakeman supported the album with a UK tour from September to December 2018, with the December dates featuring a Christmas-themed program. ==Track listing==
