In 2023, Rick Wakeman wrote a new medley incorporating themes from Yes classics adapted for band and choir, to form 'The Yes Suite', which was performed at his now legendary concert at the prestigious London Palladium. The new work proved so popular with fans and critics alike that he wrote another adaptation, this time for solo piano, entitled 'Yessonata', which he performed on his final one man solo tour of North and South America earlier this year. The piece contains more than 30 musical fragments of yes music that Rick was a part of. 'Yessonata' is backed by 'The King Arthur Piano Suite' - again, a piano adaptation of the main themes and melodies from Rick's 'The Myths And Legends Of King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table'. It will be instantly recognizable as the music that the BBC used to introduce it's recent general election coverage. Both tracks were recorded on Wakeman's favourite piano, a Steinway model d concert grand, owned by Andrew Giller, at the Old Granary in Suffolk.
