Description: Excellent condition (near mint) copy of the final album by Billy Joel, his first step into classical. It is actually written by Joel, but is performed by Richard Joo. "Fantasies & Delusions is the thirteenth and final studio album composed by American singer-songwriter Billy Joel, released in 2001. His only studio album to contain classical compositions, it features his longtime friend, the British-Korean pianist Richard Hyung-ki Joo, performing compositions written by Joel. It was Joel's 19th album to chart on the Billboard 200, reaching No. 83 in October 2001. The album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard′s Top Classical Albums chart. Fantasies & Delusions was originally recorded at Cove City Sound Studios, Glen Cove, New York, with help from veteran production coordinator Bill Zampino and Richie Cannata; later, the album was re-recorded in Vienna, Austria, for final release." "Hyung-ki Joo (Korean: 주형기; RR: Ju Hyeong-gi) is a Korean-British pianist, composer, comedian and one half of the comedy-musical duo "Igudesman & Joo". Billy Joel chose Joo to arrange and record his classical piano pieces for the album Fantasies & Delusions. It was recorded in the Mozart Hall of the Vienna Konzerthaus, and reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard album chart for 18 weeks."
