Allegro und Blues

The complete performance of Jon Lord’s Concerto for Group and Orchestra that happened in Munich in October 2024 has been posted on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. The piece was performed by the rock band Boxhead and Abaco-Orchestra conducted by Ina Stoertzenbach. Watch out for some delightful deviations from the canon.

Thanks to Thomas for bringing this to our attention.

    Thanks for the Concerto and I must say that that is really impressive on all counts. Love the ode to Ritchie in the first movement & the Ludwig drum kit, say no more. The sound of it all is impeccable. I have only listened to my favourite part, the first, will finish up later with the second & the third movements. Is this the most striking version I have heard? From listening to Telemann this morning and now to Jon Lord’s concerto, have to love classical music in that sense. I suppose I had better mention the little bits of rock music to boot. Well played all, impressive indeed. Cheers.

    Well I just listened to the second movement, the most prettiest in melodies & also very pastoral. The keyboard player is wonderful as all the musicians are & that keyboard sound he has there is sublime. One thing is for sure when hearing Jon Lord’s Concerto performed live, he has not left the building at all. Bless him. Cheers.

    Ina S reminds me a bit of Celibedache, the Romanian conductor, she did a terrific job!
    I wish Jon could have heard this 🤩
