Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden shift into a jaunty, ragtime-inflected piano solo in Merlin the Magician that breaks the symphonic tension.
The massive, wall-of-sound choral climax during The Last Battle that mirrors Wakeman's own brush with mortality.
The frantic, high-speed violin runs in Sir Lancelot and the Black Knight that push the orchestra to its technical limits.
