Keyboard Wizards - The Ultimate Anthology (2003)

Keyboard Wizards – The Ultimate Anthology is the first collection to truly celebrate the greatest keyboard players in rock history. Too often the spotlight has shone on the guitar heroes, leaving the keyboard masters in the shadows. This anthology redresses the balance, showcasing the virtuosity, power, and genius of musicians whose outstanding technical and artistic ability shaped the sound of progressive and classic rock. Featuring unforgettable performances from legends including Keith Emerson, Jon Lord, Rick Wakeman, Geoff Downes, David Sinclair, Karl Jenkins, Thijs Van Leer, Ken Hensley, and Vincent Crane, this anthology brings their artistry to the forefront. Also included is The Next Generation of Keyboard Wizards, with contributions from Iain Jennings (Mostly Autumn) and Jonathan Edwards (Karnataka). Digitally remastered for 5.1 surround sound, this two-hour program gives these maestros of the keys the collective bow they so richly deserve.
