Leaving the Royal College of Music Rick has worked with some of the biggest names in rock and pop music playing on some of the biggest hits by artists as diverse as Cat Stevens, Marc Bolan and David Bowie. Likewise he has played with one of the biggest rock bands in the world. As a member of Rick played some of the biggest arenas in the world and released massively successful albums both as a member of British Rock band Yes and also as a solo artist usually presenting his concerts spectacular events. In 1973 he released his first proper solo album The Six Wives Of Henry The VIII following that album up in the seventies and eighties with other hugely popular and successful albums. In the eighties Rick also recorded albums in the then popular genre entitled "New Age". Releasing such popular albums as The Aspirant Series of recordings (Aspirant Sunrise, Aspirant Sunset and Aspirant Sunshadows). Past, Present and Future is a triple CD with each disc ion this set reflecting part of the title Past, Present and Future. As the title implies the album focuses on time and the themes running through it also come under each of the three headings Past, Present and Future. The album is a solo piano work from Rick and features all new material and comes in a sleeve designed by artist Mark Wilkinson and will no doubt be enthusiastically received by the large and dedicated fan base commanded by Rick. Reviews Three CDs for the price of one can't be bad, and if you're in the mood for a bit of key-based relaxation then this is the ticket...
Record Collector May 2010 ...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?...
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.
