(Kayos) On October 13, Eagle Rock Entertainment will release The Six Wives Of Henry VIII on DVD and Blu-ray via Eagle Vision and CD through Eagle Records. This eagerly anticipated release for Rick Wakeman fans is his first solo release on Blu-ray.
Rick Wakeman's The Six Wives Of Henry VIII is one of the landmark albums of the seventies, a critical and commercial success that has sold in excess of 15 million copies worldwide. In May 2009, Wakeman finally achieved his long held dream of performing the entire album live at Hampton Court Palace. It was the first time the whole album had ever been performed in concert and included the Henry VIII track "Defender Of The Faith," that had to be cut from the original album for space reasons, plus new opening and closing pieces. The two spectacular sell out concerts were a never to be repeated event, which give those not able to attend the ability to experience this epic performance.
The Six Wives Of Henry VIII release features extended live performances of Wakeman's most popular album with the English Rock Ensemble accompanied by the Orchestra Europa and the English Chamber Choir with Brian Blessed as narrator. The release offers two hours of great entertainment, as well as a behind the scenes feature with Rick, and also offers additional new tracks premiered at the concert. The DVD and Blu-ray versions come packaged in a deluxe slipcase with a reproduction of the concert program.
