Jon Lord - Concerto For Group and Orchestra DVD + CD 2012
Description The Concerto for Group and Orchestra is a concerto composed by
Jon Lord, with lyrics written by Ian Gillan. It was first performed by
Deep Purple and The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Malcolm
Arnold on 24 September 1969 and released on vinyl in December 1969. The
release was the first Deep Purple album to feature Ian Gillan on vocals
and Roger Glover on bass. After the score was lost in 1970, it was
performed again in 1999 with a recreated score. The 1969 performance was
the first ever combination of rock music and a complete orchestra and
has been cited as paving the way for other rock/orchestra performances
such as Metallica's S&M concert and Roger Water's The Wall Berlin
performance.
In October 2012, a studio version of the Concerto for Group and
Orchestra was released. The recording features the Royal Liverpool
Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Paul Mann. The Soloists are Jon Lord
(organ), Darin Vasilev (guitar in the 1st movement), Joe Bonamassa
(guitar in the 2nd movement), Steve Morse (guitar in the third
movement), Steve Balsamo, Kasia Łaska, and Bruce Dickinson (vocals),
Brett Morgan (drums), and Guy Pratt (bass). The orchestral parts were
recorded at the Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool on 1 and 2 June 2011. The
band parts were recorded in August and October 2011, and on May 2012.
The album was mixed at Abbey Road Studios in late May 2012. According to
Paul Mann, Jon Lord heard the final master of the recording a few days
before his death on 16 July 2012. (wikipedia)
