1.) Jon Lord – Sarabande Vinyl, LP, Album - 1st Japanese Pressing - 1977 - Japan - Oyster – MWF 1017, Polydor – MWF 1017 Media: EX to NM / Sleeve & Insert: NM / OBI: EX A1 Fantasia 3:30 A2 Sarabande 7:19 A3 Aria 3:41 A4 Gigue 11:05 B1 Bourée 11:00 B2 Pavane 7:35 B3 Caprice 3:12 B4 Finale 2:03 As Lord wrote in the liner notes, on this classical-rock fusion album, recorded in Deep Purple's dying days, "The theme behind the music on this album is that of a baroque dance suite; a form of music which was brought to its highest level by Bach. The title of each track is the name of a dance used in one of these dance suites, and I have tried to use the same tempo and feel as an original Sarabande, Gigue etc." The wholly instrumental work includes both some purely orchestral/symphonic passages and some fusiony rock chunks, as well as parts where the two forms merge to some extent. Among the rock section, Lord's keyboards are supported by ex-Spencer Davis Group drummer Pete York and a pre-Police Andy Summers on guitar. German composer and conductor Eberhard Schoener conducts the Philharmonica Hungarica Orchestra. ________________________________________________________________________________ This record has been cleaned with a professional ultrasonic machine.
