The album is a live recording of his second of two concerts on 18 January 1974 at the Royal Festival Hall in London. With its concept based on Jules Verne&#8217;s science fiction novel of the same name, the album tells the story of Professor Lidenbrok, his nephew Axel, and their guide Hans, who follow a passage to the Earth&#8217;s centre originally discovered by Arne Saknussemm, an Icelandic alchemist. Wakeman performs with the London Symphony Orchestra, the English Chamber Choir, and a group of hand-picked musicians for his rock band, which later became the English Rock Ensemble. Actor David Hemmings narrates the story.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Journey To The Centre Of The Earth<\/strong> was overall well received by music critics. It reached number one on the UK Albums Chart, the first album from A&amp;M to do so, and peaked at number 3 on the Billboard 200 in the United States. It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in October 1974 for 500,000 copies sold in the United States. The album earned Wakeman a nomination for an Ivor Novello Award and a Grammy Award. In 1999, Wakeman released a sequel, Return to the Centre of the Earth. He re-recorded the album with additional parts previously removed from the original score due to time constraints, in 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Journey To The Centre Of The Earth is the second solo album from the English keyboardist Rick Wakeman, released on 3 May 1974 by A&amp;M Records.
