One of Lord’s most successful and most loved orchestral works, Sarabande was recorded in Oer-Erckenschwick near Cologne in 1974 with the now defunct Philharmonica Hungarica orchestra conducted by Eberhard Schoener.
The original recording also featured Andy Summers on guitar (he later joined The Police), Pete York on drums, Mark Nauseef on percussion (he later played drums with Ian Gillan Band and Thin Lizzy) and Paul Karass on bass.
Sarabande - Jon Lord Lord’s performance of the suite premiered in Budapest on Saturday (18), and he turned some heads during rehearsals for the show: ignoring the keyboards in the room, he decided to try out the Purple classic, “Child In Time,” on piano (at the concert itself, Jon played the song on Hammond organ).
Singer Kasia Laska was at hand with her camera to capture the moment…
