Howard Gets Inspired
New Goodall album out now.
18 January, 2013
Late last year we told you that music maestro Howard Goodall (yes, we do have to call him "maestro" every time we mention him) had recorded brand new piano versions of the Red Dwarf theme and Tongue Tied for release on a new compilation album. Well, guess what? Said album is now available!
Inspired, which was released by Decca Records in conjunction with Classic FM on 14th January, contains some of Howard's finest work, both old and new. In addition to the Red Dwarf tracks, and a number of brand new exclusive compositions, you'll find versions of some of his most famed TV themes, including Mr Bean, The Vicar of Dibley and Blackadder Goes Forth. The album features guest performers including Craig Ogden, Noah Stewart, Laura Wright and Howard's own choir, Enchanted Voices.
The tracklisting of the standard edition, which is available on CD or for MP3 download, is as follows:
- Inspired
- Ecce Homo (Theme from Mr Bean)
- Piano Fantasy: Tongue-Tied
- Agnus Dei
- Shackleton's Cross
- Pro alios curantibus

If you fancy getting even more classical, however, you can also get the deluxe edition from iTunes - which among its four bonus tracks includes the special Red Dwarf theme re-recording. Both this and the Tongue Tied Piano Fantasy, meanwhile, are also still available as a special two-track single, also on iTunes.
