About this album
Rick Wakeman’s The Myths And Legends Of King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table is one of progressive rock’s most ambitious solo statements. Issued in 1975, the concept album turns Arthurian legend into a sweeping symphonic rock suite, drawing on Wakeman’s virtuoso keyboards, recurring themes and dramatic contrasts to give the story real scale. Built around movements such as “Arthur”, “Merlin the Magician” and “The Last Battle”, it blends classical ambition with the spectacle of 1970s prog and reflects the era when rock albums could aim at both narrative and orchestral grandeur. It remains a key title in Wakeman’s catalogue.
