Formed in 1979, Sky brought together the worlds of rock and classical music in a highly successful and inspiring way. Featuring the gifted talents of guitarist John Williams, percussionist Tristan Fry, legendary bass player Herbie Flowers, former Curved Air keyboard player Francis Monkman and guitarist Kevin Peek, Sky recorded their debut album at Abbey Road studios in the early months of 1979. The band's self-titled debut reached the UK top ten in May 1979 and went on to achieve platinum status in the UK and was also a major hit in Europe and Australia. Also, a huge live attraction, Sky released their second album in April 1980. Sky 2 was a fine achievement, featuring the hit single 'Toccata', and topped the UK album charts upon it's release. For the band's third album, Steve Gray replaced Francis Monkman on keyboards, but the band continued their run of success as Sky 3 reached the UK Top Ten upon it's release in March 1981. The albums Sky 4 and Cadmium continued the run of best-selling albums, following which John Williams departed the band in December 1983. In March 1985, the album The Great Balloon Race was recorded in Australia and the UK, becoming another hit album. In 1987, they recorded their final album, which saw Sky arrange pieces composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Mozart featured the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields conducted by Sir Neville Marriner and earned the group their highest ever US chart placing upon release. DVD contains Sky - Live In Nottingham 1990, a performance recorded for Central Television on the 24th June 1990.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 1 - Sky (1979)\u003cbr\u003e1 Westway\u003cbr\u003e2 Carillon\u003cbr\u003e3 Danza\u003cbr\u003e4 Gymnopedle No. 1\u003cbr\u003e5 Cannonball\u003cbr\u003e6 Where Opposites Meet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 2 - Sky 2 (1980)\u003cbr\u003e1 Hotta\u003cbr\u003e2 Dance of the Little Fairies\u003cbr\u003e3 Sahara\u003cbr\u003e4 Fifo a) Fifo B) Adagio C) Scherzo D) Watching the Aeroplanes\u003cbr\u003e5 Tuba Smarties\u003cbr\u003e6 Ballet-Volta\u003cbr\u003e7 Gavotte \u0026amp; Variations\u003cbr\u003e8 Adante\u003cbr\u003e9 Tristan's Magic Garden\u003cbr\u003e10 El Cielo\u003cbr\u003e11 Vivaldi\u003cbr\u003e12 Scipio\u003cbr\u003e13 Toccata\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 3 - Sky 3 (1981)\u003cbr\u003e1 The Grace\u003cbr\u003e2 Chiropodie 1\u003cbr\u003e3 Westwind\u003cbr\u003e4 Sarabande\u003cbr\u003e5 Connecting Rooms\u003cbr\u003e6 Moonroof\u003cbr\u003e7 Sister Rose\u003cbr\u003e8 Hello\u003cbr\u003e9 Dance of the Big Fairies\u003cbr\u003e10 Mehecco\u003cbr\u003e11 Keep Me Safe and Keep Me Warm, Shelter Me from Darkness\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 4 - Sky 4 (Forthcoming) (1982)\u003cbr\u003e1 Masquerade\u003cbr\u003e2 Ride of the Valkyries\u003cbr\u003e3 March to the Scaffold\u003cbr\u003e4 To Yelasto Pedi\u003cbr\u003e5 Waltz No. 2\u003cbr\u003e6 Fantasy\u003cbr\u003e7 My Giselle\u003cbr\u003e8 Xango\u003cbr\u003e9 Fantasia\u003cbr\u003e10 Skylark\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 5 - Cadmium (1983)\u003cbr\u003e1 Troika\u003cbr\u003e2 Fayre\u003cbr\u003e3 A Girl in Winter\u003cbr\u003e4 Mother Russia\u003cbr\u003e5 Telex from Peru\u003cbr\u003e6 The Boy from Dundee\u003cbr\u003e7 Night\u003cbr\u003e8 Then and Now\u003cbr\u003e9 Return to Me\u003cbr\u003e10 Son of Hotta\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 6 - The Great Balloon Race (1985)\u003cbr\u003e1 Desperate for Your Love\u003cbr\u003e2 Allegro\u003cbr\u003e3 The Land\u003cbr\u003e4 Peter's Wedding\u003cbr\u003e5 The Great Balloon Race\u003cbr\u003e6 The Lady and the Imp\u003cbr\u003e7 Caldano\u003cbr\u003e8 Roleystone\u003cbr\u003e9 Night Sky\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 7 - Mozart (1987)\u003cbr\u003e1 The Marriage of Figaro: Overture\u003cbr\u003e2 Eine Kleine Nachtmusik: Rondo\u003cbr\u003e3 The Marriage of Figaro: Non So Plu, Cosa Son\u003cbr\u003e4 Symphony No. 34: Last Movement\u003cbr\u003e5 The Magic Flute: Overture\u003cbr\u003e6 Eine Kleine Nachtmusik: Romanza\u003cbr\u003e7 Horn Concerto No. 4 in Eb: Rondo\u003cbr\u003e8 Don Giovanni: La CI Darem la Mano\u003cbr\u003e9 A Musical Joke: Presto\u003cbr\u003e10 Come, Sweet May (Spring Song)\u003cbr\u003e11 Rondo Alla Turka: Rondo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 8 - Live In Nottingham 24th June 1990 (Recorded For Central TV) (DVD)\u003cbr\u003e1 Son of Hotta\u003cbr\u003e2 Cannonball\u003cbr\u003e3 Found\u003cbr\u003e4 Reverie\u003cbr\u003e5 Toccata\u003cbr\u003e6 Meheeco\u003cbr\u003e7 Would You Say Iâ™M in Love with You\u003cbr\u003e8 Tuba Smarties\u003cbr\u003e9 Praeludium\u003cbr\u003e10 Hotta\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44060840296582,"sku":"CRR9472242.2","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/2959\/9806\/files\/sky-studio-albums.jpg?v=1781194226","url":"https:\/\/www.parasolrecords.com\/products\/sky-the-studio-albums-1979-1987-cd-dvd","provider":"Parasol Mail Order","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
