One of Rick Wakemanā€™s more obscure albums, At Lincoln Cathedral is spoken of in hallowed terms by those in the know. Originally released in a limited run of 500, this one-off solo performance, with no audience (except for the crew), recorded on 26 September 2001, it was completely improvised on the spot ā€“ no rehearsals, no planning, just pure inspiration pouring from Wakemanā€™s fingers. It almost didnā€™t happen, as the cathedralā€™s Bishop initially refused to allow anyone to touch the buildingā€™s renowned pipe organ. When word came back that the hopeful performer wasnā€™t just anyone, a decree was issued: ā€œIf itā€™s Rick Wakeman, he can do anything he wants!ā€

Here are Ricks thoughts about the session

"There are so many emotions that race through the body when seated behind the manuals of a great cathedral organ and the feeling of power that appears to surge through the fingers into the instrument itself and in turn through the pipes themselves is almost unsurpassable.

As opportunities to perform on great cathedral organs are really few and far between, the chance of having a day to play the organ at Lincoln Cathedral was too good to miss. The music I chose was written specifically for the instrument itself and is based around a combination of fixed notation and improvisation fueled by pure emotion".

Now, the At Lincoln Cathedral 2001 CD is paired with the Live Portraits At Lincoln Cathedral for a 2CD+DVD box set, plus the event tour program, a numbered certificate, a AAA laminate and ten postcards.

Across the two recordings, expect heavenly inspiration, new arrangements of songs from Rickā€™s past, and a few personal favourites thrown in for good measure.

The first 100 copies sold will contain a signed program ā€“ youā€™ll have to be as fleet-fingered as Rick to catch one!
