Free Music Notes for White Rock II
Free Music Review: Great Second Part
Hit: 4 Stars
In 1976 Rick Wakeman was asked to compose the music for the official film of the Winter Olympics held in Innsbruck that same year.
The Score he produced revolutionized the way that music and sport were to combine and not only was the film a box office success, but the soundtrack album, WHITE ROCK, was a huge best seller reaching the top ten in the album charts in the UK and top twenty in numerous other countries around the world.
In 1997, Rick was contacted by Konrad Bartelski at R=Trans World International who was involved in the re-editing of four official Winter Olympic games films for television transmission later that year. One of them was the 1976 Winter Olympics from Innsbruck.
After evaluating the scores from the remaining three films, Konrad felt that as they were being edited anyway, thai was the perfect opportunity to have them re-scored, and so after lengthy discussion with Rick, new scores were produced for the edited films and the Reflections of Winter programmes were born.
The response to the music was so positive that Rick set about the task of rearranging and recording the various themes from Reflections of Winter, just a he had done back in 1976 with the Innsbruck film, and produced seven tracks of outstanding quality well worthy of the title of WHITE ROCK II
