Billy Joel Fantasies & Delusions

Fantasies & Delusions is the 13th and final studio album from Billy Joel, originally released in October 2001 and marking a distinct departure from his pop and rock legacy. Instead, Joel turns fully to classical composition, presenting a collection of solo piano works that reflect his lifelong passion for the genre.

Performed by his longtime friend, acclaimed pianist Richard Hyung-ki Joo, the album brings Joel’s ten compositions (Opus 1–10) to life with nuance and precision—ranging from delicate, introspective passages to more dramatic and technically rich movements.

Now available for the first time on vinyl, this 2LP reissue offers a fresh way to experience one of the most unique entries in Joel’s catalogue—refined, expressive and far removed from the spotlight of his chart-topping career.
