Former DEEP PURPLE Keyboardist To Release Boom Of The Tingling Strings
February 5, 2008, 16 years ago
According to Deep-purple.net, former DEEP PURPLE keyboardist JON LORD's work for piano and orchestra Boom Of The Tingling Strings, was performed on December 7/8 2006, with pianist Nelson Goerner, and the Odense Symphony Orchestra conducted by Paul Mann. The concerts took place in the Carl Nielsen Hall of the Odense Koncerthus in Denmark as part of the main subscription concert series of the Odense Symphony Orchestra, of which Paul Mann is principal conductor. The concert programme also included music by Weber and Carl Nielsen.
The following week, EMI Classics recorded Boom Of The Tingling Strings (Nelson Goerner, piano), and Lord's work for string orchestra Disguises (Suite for String Orchestra) with the Odense Symfoniorkester, Paul Mann conductor. Please note Jon Lord does not be play on the album.
This album is now close to being released, and EMI tell us they expect to have it out in either March or April 2008, to tie in with Jon's Liverpool concert.
The last movement is apparently fiendishly difficult, described in a tongue-in-cheek way by Jon as his ‘revenge on concert pianists’, whom he has always envied for their keyboard talents. Former EMI Debut artist Nelson Goerner is said to rise admirably to the challenge, moving Jon Lord ‘to tears’ at the recording sessions with his deftness of touch and sensitivity.
