In April 2018, Wakeman announced that his manager had secured an agreement with Sony Masterworks to release it.
[1] Piano Odyssey continues the theme of the previous with a selection of original, cover versions, and classically-inspired compositions arranged by Wakeman for the piano, but contains additional orchestral arrangements from the London-based Orion Orchestra and the English Chamber Choir.
[3] Wakeman then assembled a list of 40 tracks that he wanted to record for it and narrowed it down to 12 final songs.
In a subsequent two-week period, Wakeman completed the piano arrangements for the tracks which was followed by the orchestral scores which took a further four weeks.
