Reproduction of an excerpt from Lord’s original handwritten music score from Sarabande, signed by Paul Mann.2CD – Celebrating Jon Lord – The Rock Legend.CD – Celebrating Jon Lord – The Composer.So here is a chance to have a look inside if you have not seen or got a copy yourself. The box set itself did not hang around for long so it is quite hard to find now. It was a brilliant night featuring Deep Purple, Bruce Dickinson, Glenn Hughes, Paul Weller, Rick Wakeman and many more. I went to the memorial concert in 2014 at the Royal Albert Hall so really looked forward to the release of this box set. I will be doing an overview of his solo albums in a future video but albums like Pictured Within, The Durham Concerto and To Notice Such Things are essential listening. I was not just a fan of his work with Deep Purple etc but also his contemporary classical music which also incorporated some beautiful songs and artists. So when Jon Lord passed away in 2012 I was devastated. I always felt while all the core musicians walked the earth everything was in balance! As many of you know I am a big fan of Deep Purple and anyone connected with them.
