Anno 2010 and for the decades before ,I remember solely this belgian André Groslot...believing he is so funny bringing down to himself and his violins Genuine Masters in Rock like Joe Cocker, John Fogerty,even Quo if you like...by mellowing down their purity and rock-art.
In 1969 Rock met Classic, and all of the parties remained themselves!
Many fakers try to sell a re-created world.
No other thing than the simple genuine is forever really TRUE.
The mighty Deep Purple are tops!This is just before they made their transisition into "Heavy Rock" and became the forefathers, along with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin! Purple was always the 1 out of the 3 that had the heavy "classical" element, due to Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore, and they had organ, which the other two bands really didn't have, except for John Paul Jones, very sparingly. He was, for the most part, designated for the bass position. Hail Sabbath, Zeppelin, and Purple.
"The Nice" did it ... "Procol Harum" too ... and Deep Purple .. and we felt in those times that they really made it ... together with mainstreaming serious musicians from the well aclaimed world of our fathers ...
Almost 5:00 minutes and they've barely begun to build on the theme, it plods along way too slowly. There's nothing striking in the composition except when Ian's singing. It all sounds nice, though.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The orchestra is there, and the group is there, but they fail to meld. Only the Moody Blues could pull this kind of thing off, and they only managed it once.
yes, glad you mentioned the MB's 'cause I think they did the orchestra thing a year or two before DP, and their music is much more fitting for orchestra. The compositions on Days of Future Past are pristine and absolutely timeless--had 2big hits. I see what you mean tho, DP and the orchestra seem to be rarely playing at the same time, and only very slowly; in fact the whole thing is very slow. I don't feel any sense of drama. The band are not displaying ANY classical chops, not even RBlkmre.
I've watched at least 3, probly4 of these video from this concert. What i saw is that there was no interaction or even syncopation between the orchestra and and the group/at least one of members save for Ian Gillan, It was almost exclusively: orchestra plays, stops. Group plays, stops. Orchestra, etc.,....I gotta admit though, took me some effort to get past how in all these decades after this show, the bar's been raised, to realy apreciate Gillan's perfmnce here. He really does sound very great
...can't say the same for the rest of the band collectively though. I'll stick with my opinion that Ritchie just wanked during his solo, woulda been nice to see Jon write something for every band instrument that was very precise, when they're stepping out for solos. Gillans vibrato is really good and I think his voice fits this piece perfectly. I'd have bought more Gillan albums if he managed to arrange stuff like this on his own back in the 70s his voice still intact. Gillan portions:5of5stars.
But you gotta understand WHY Ritchie did it. His solo was originally supposed to be roughly 8 bars and he had been quite frustrated that the orchestra didn't really even care about the song whatsoever and were more or less plugging their ears next to him.
And if you like Gillan's performance on this you should check out the original Jesus Christ Superstar album. He was amazing on it.
I'll buy your explanation on that, i assume you read interviews that discussed that moment. Not very professional on Ritchie's part though, even to detriment of the bands frame of mind for the entire performance i would guess, not exactly a time to be walking on pins'n'needles instead of focusing on the music. Ritchie was never much of a team player was he? which is exactly or more so what public convicts Yngwie of being. I say all that in a polite manner...Have checkd JCSStar, good stuff!
If Ritchie REALLY wanted to get back at the orchestra, he shoulda whipped out some classical stylings for his solo, like: "yeah, I'll show you!" but...
I'll tell you what I think was "not very professional." The orchestra showing up completely unprepared.
Seriously, if you listen to the re-recording of this with the London Symphony Orchestra you'll hear what it's like with a group that was actually rehearsed and showed interest in it. In fact, when Jon Lord took the record to Malcolm Arnold (original conductor), that's the first thing he commented on. :)
Sounds like you did your research on it. I can only speculate and convey what Im able to see on the surface. It musta had the rest of the band on edge, though, like: 'oh shit, here we go, shit's gonna hit the fan any moment now!' --Ritchie starts destroying equipment left and right(crash,feedback,crash!) LOL! I'll take you on your word man! Still, and i'm not saying to 'top' you or 'get the last word,' I woulda like to see each band member step out to a solo playing with classical chops...
...and the more dramatic interplay between the orchestra/band. It's not saying anybody's wrong or right, just that's the way my logical mind works. It is what it is, and it's great, can't insult 'em for having the idea or for trying and actually bringing it to stage. IMO, might've been better if viewed as movie score. ?? Gillan rulz tho! Out for awhile. Have a good one!
I am afraid You are missing the point of this project. Concerto for X and Y should stand in fact for a sort of "sound-competition" between X and Y, e.g. piano and orchestra (Liszt) So it's a race between a rockgroup and an orchestra, having at one time the one in an other time the other one the leading. If You listen to the parts where either the group or the orchestra takes over the leading, i.e. the domination, You'll never find an abrupt swich but a sliding transition. Does it make sense?
@szikcsova: I suppose there are some who will look at it that way, and its a valid point, from a classical musicians point of view perhaps. Not speaking for all listeners, but just 4myself, well then u could throw a whiskey-jug blues band out there and call it the same. The point should be, just in my logical mind, since you're going 2bother 2put the 2 2gether on a stage, then their ought to be some intertwining, mingling or interaction of the2, in melody n chops. As a story form(?) this may wrk
on the other hand, it is important to have at least tried, we all gotta start somewhere, so bands like DP and the MoodyBlues are to at least be respected for having made some valid progress and drawn attention to the form.
@tranespotter The Moody Blues are for pussies who can't handle good guitar work, because it makes them feel too much, or it gives them a headache! Bloody wankers!
OMG!!! I just stumbled on this ....I've had this album for many years ...and always wondered if it was filmed....thanks for postin CIO....you made my day
it's no wonder the band found it a thoroughly uninspiring experience. but this piece had a lot to do with them taking classical resources out to their own context, which is an important development in 20th century music.
What´s the word "boring" means to you? They´re doing at that time a piece that´s worth to pay attention. And "unispiring" smells like nonsense to me. Jon Lord wanted to unite two opposites of the musical scene. The Classical and the Rock ones. The audience is just paying attention to every point of this piece. Be careful with your words.
Another brilliant melody from the band that has given us soooo much great music!! Gillan is fantastic on this track and the main string melody is just wonderful!
The part with Gillan's vocal is good, the rest is boring.

Nice singing from Ian Gillian, we did this to test your voice. They went from this beautiful classical rock with orchestra to Deep Purple in rock.
Talk about a band changing direction.
