Deep Purple's keyboard player JON LORD had long harboured a desire to incorporate classical music into his band's work, and this Concerto sees his dream come true in a one off collaboration with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Modern composer Malcolm Arnold helped Lord to produce this concerto in three parts.
DEEP PURPLE In Concert with The Royal Philharmonic is a piece of rock history. Within a few months of this Sept. 24, 1969 performance, the group was to release the seminal hard rock album, DEEP PURPLE IN ROCK. The Concerto was their manager's idea of getting them some publicity, but it wasn't simply hype. Keyboard player JON LORD had kicked around the idea of bringing rock and classical music together for several years. Given the green light, he managed to compose and score the finished work in a matter of months, despite Deep Purple's punishing touring commitments. In it he explored both the negative and positive aspects of such a fusion. The result was a fascinating evening for the band, the orchestra and the audience. Their reaction was immediate and positive, as the standing ovation at the end demonstrated. Although the critics treated it with "long faced seriousness," for everyone else it had been a hugely enjoyable and entertaining experience. The event was captured on film, and the resulting footage is now available once again on video - together with a little additional material discovered during the search for the masters. Overshadowed in rock history by the Moody Blues' Days of Future Passed and the symphonic rock of Emerson, Lake, & Palmer, Deep Purple's Concerto for Group and Orchestra is an event that shouldn't be forgotten. Composed by keyboardist JON LORD, this three-movement concerto begins as an antagonistic contest between Deep Purple and the 80-piece Royal Philharmonic, under the mediating baton of conductor Malcolm Arnold. The second movement finds group and orchestra coming to terms with each other, while the third unites them into an integrated whole. Everybody's evidently mystified when guitarist RITCHIE BLACKMORE hijacks the first movement with an amazing but unexpectedly extended solo, and it's obvious that some of the tuxedoed players aren't too keen about sharing Royal Albert Hall with long-haired rockers. Still, this remains one of the most remarkable efforts to meld "the best of both worlds," and Lord's jovial commentary track guides the viewer/listener through all the musical hazards and highlights.
Originally recorded for British television and superbly remastered for DVD (in Dolby Digital Stereo, Dolby 5.1-channel Surround, or DTS Surround), this premier performance is a must-have for Deep Purple fans, and the casually curious will also be richly rewarded.
