Artist: JON LORD
Album: "WINDOWS 35TH ANNIVERSARY REMASTERED EDIT. (DIGI)"

Year: 1974/ 2009
Media type: CD

"Windows" was Jon's fourth experiment at merging elements of rock and classical music, and was recorded live during June 1974. Jon had been asked by German festival organisers to perform a special concert in Munich, and got together with conductor Eberhard Schoener to compose a new piece especially for the evening. In fact, two works were performed. WINDOW comprised three movements, including a reworked section from his earlier album GEMINI SUITE. The second piece, CONTINUO ON BACH, saw Jon and Eberhard having his stab at finishing a composition which had been left uncompleted upon Bach's death. The piece had been put together for a German show the previous year, but this was the first time it had been recorded.

The Munich Chamber Opera Orchestra performed alongside Jon Lord, fellow Deep Purple players David Coverdale (vocals) and Glenn Hughes (bass), and a host of rock luminaries including Ray Fenwick, Pete York, Tony Ashton, and others - with Eberhard Schoener on moog.

Windows is at times a demanding listen, but the ever-changing musical textures, and the sheer quality of the performances, have delighted and intrigued listeners for twenty five years now.

The original gatefold album was deleted back in the late seventies, and is now a very collectable artifact. This CD was issued by Purple in 1999 (PUR 322) but for the 35th anniversary has been newly remastered by Nick Watson from the original quarter inch production masters for improved sound quality. There is a limited edition in a special digipak with original cover, contemporary cuttings and memorabilia in a 12 page booklet. We expect this to be available in August 2009.
