Performed around the same time as the (in)famous concerto, which I obviously like a lot since I would not have bought this recording either, it makes a compatible pair. Not quite as grandiose as the RAH concert but a most suitable companion. Also, not quite as melodic but accessible nonetheless. I'm a big fan of the late, great Jon Lord and I'm happy to own a number of his works. If you happen to appreciate the concerto, I think you'd like this to accompany it.
This is an interesting piece of music given full musical treatment by Lords bandmates and acquaintances the orchestra sounds a little more committed although the music is written apparently their was not much love lost first time around with the concerto for group and orchestra at Royal Albert Hall the remix is outstanding a good listen
